> “It was made to sound like you would be booked all the time, and you could make 5, 10 grand a month,” she says. But the most she’s ever gotten has been $3,500 a month and sometimes as little as $1,000. “It’s not as much as we were expecting.” So basically it's paying the mortgage on their $295k second home, which is a pretty good deal if you ask me. I don't think middlemen promising that you will make more money off of a deal than you actually do is a new thing, or that it's limited to AirBNB. Take estimates with a healthy grain of salt.
