Making $4,000 a month on Airbnb #airbnb #airbnbbusiness #airbnbhost
Summary
In this video, Jorge Contreras presents a simple method for setting your nightly rate on Airbnb to maximize your profit. He recommends that your rent or mortgage payment should be divided by ten to determine your nightly rate, and uses $4,000 per month as an example. He also mentions that at 66% occupancy with 20 days, you would have already made double of what you are paying in rent or mortgage, and ideally you should be making $2,000 or more in profit per property.
