How much I am making on my Airbnb in Chicago
I wanted to update BP on how one my Airbnb's have been preforming. The location is Jefferson park Chicago. its a 1 bedroom that i would have rented for $900. See the cashflow i have been receiving on a monthly basis.
I started in February

@Todd Dexheimer my expenses are cleaning maids, electric, gas, and consumables
@Luke F. I believe the maintenance from an Airbnb vs Traditional rental should be similar. If a faucet is going to leak you got to fix it. If AC or heat breaks you have to come get it done.
I would say its less wear and tear as i have cleaning ladies coming every 3 days to clean.
I would say theres more work to make guests happy. If i didnt have enough blankets or pillows. I have to get that done immediately. If coffee machine breaks i have to buy one on the same day.
The benefit is i dont have annoying tenants that feel entitled and give me problems (and have tenant rights). If i dont like you as a guest i can kick your @ss out :)
So there are trade offs... pros & cons
