Profit
Is an Airbnb in Port Sheldon Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Port Sheldon Airbnb took in $47,926 in the 12 months to March 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,910 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about $4,580 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any HOA or condo fees.
