Between the two of these, it’s an extra $138 per month in bills. What it comes down to is the Insurance and Alarm system costs that are hurting me.

The plan was to start off with a low-priced (cheap if you will) listing so that I can get bookings and more importantly good reviews! As with Amazon or any other service including AirBnb and VRBO, it’s all about the reviews and pictures!! And I had zero reviews to start. This is due to a strategy I used to start the listing at a very affordable price. The income comes from Airbnb as well as VRBO (Although I have only had 1 booking through VRBO so far).Īs you will see, each month has been progressively getting better for me which is what I originally expected. How is my Airbnb experiment going so far you ask? Well here you will see my actual Airbnb income and expenses after two months of being in operation. I have never had or managed a short-term rental before so I have been learning as I go and trying to figure out the best and most efficient way to run this new business of mine.

This is the update you have all been waiting for!! 😉 As you may have read in a previous post of mine, I converted one of my Indianapolis rental properties into a full time AirBnb vacation rental.
