Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average The Dalles Airbnb took in $37,287 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,050 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 $4,030 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,270 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,320 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,760 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.
