Renting Out Our Primary Home on Airbnb — Worth It?

We're away about 2 3 months a year and are about to buy our first home. It’s in a popular summer spot, so renting it out could help cover a good chunk of our mortgage. We were Airbnb hosts many years ago when we rented an apartment in the city, but this is different - as will be our own, primary home. I know the risks and wear and tear that can come with hosting. Would love to hear from other homeowners who’ve rented out their primary residence. Was it worth it? Any regrets? --- **Post Details:** - **Subreddit:** r/AirBnBHosts - **Author:** u/Sudden-Background742 - **Score:** 5 upvotes - **Upvote Ratio:** 78.0% - **Comments:** 14 - **Posted:** 6/22/2025 - **URL:** https://reddit.com/r/AirBnBHosts/comments/1lhxmxe/renting_out_our_primary_home_on_airbnb_worth_it/
