I make $130K in revenue a year running 2 Airbnbs in the Colorado mountains. It's automated and only takes a few hours a week — here's how we set it up.
The couple travel year-round in their camper van and spend a few hours a week managing the listings.
In the summer of 2020, my husband and I had the idea to list our glamping home on Airbnb on the weekends. He's a pilot for a private airline, and I'm a freelancer who helps small businesses get started up, so we both had a lot of schedule flexibility. Our earnings definitely fluctuate from month to month — but this past year, we've averaged about $10,000 a month in revenue and made around $130,000 in revenue total. My husband and I built a single-family mountain home that we lived in for just a few weeks before we decided to starttraveling. While we were gone, we rented out the house for a little over a year to a single renter.
We started out humbly — in the beginning, our goal was just to cover our mortgage, which was around $3,000. We've been able to make a profit since month one, but new hosts shouldn't be discouraged if they don't see big numbers right away. We also started in June during our best season — if we'd listed for the first time in March, it would have been a different story.Zoey Berghoff
Make sure you do your property justice. Take professional photos, have intentional professional interior design, and think through the amenities you offer and how they'll help you stand out from competitors. If no other Airbnbs in your area have a hot tub, that could really set you apart. Two Airbnbs could be in the same zip code, and one can perform drastically better than the other.
