About this episode

Over the last decade, real estate investors have used Airbnb to rent properties and meet new people worldwide. The short-term rentals business continues to grow—in 2021, the typical U.S. host made $13,800 on Airbnb, an 85% increase over Airbnb host income in 2019.  

Suppose you’re serious about purchasing a vacation rental property and becoming an Airbnb host as a side hustle or full-time income. In that case, you need to understand the service fees involved in using the platform so you can price your property accordingly. 

So how much does Airbnb take from hosts for service fees? Let’s break down what Airbnb charges hosts, how other listing platforms compare, and what savvy investors should know to run their short-term rental business.
