Well, my situation is a bit specific. My home is paid off, taxes are low, and I don’t have kids. My partner has a good full-time job as well. That said, the money I make from Airbnb would be considered below the poverty line here in San Francisco. Unless you’re in a similar situation as mine, I would say it’s very hard to make ends meet surviving on Airbnb alone. But if your living expenses aren’t exorbitant and you’re a dual income household, running an Experience can be a very fun, flexible way to bring in considerable income.
