Profit
Is an Airbnb in San Rafael - El Placer Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average San Rafael - El Placer Airbnb took in UYU 762,655 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about UYU 47,800 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 UYU 93,500 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the UYU 25,500 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about UYU 49,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about UYU 41,700 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 building or condo fees.
