I make between $3k to $6k from putting a log cabin on Airbnb. This started during period of boredom during the pandemic. I operate remotely with smart home devices and with a local cleaning team/handyman. I had a project to completely automate this with an AI agent but Airbnb doesn't offer a publicly available API. $3k seems high but the costs add up and the time as well (details here https://studiozenkai.com/post/airbnb-the-good-the-bad-the-pr... ). I always have a bit of profit at the end of year and the mortgage costs are entirely paid so no complaints here If I ever get fed up from tech projects, I can see myself getting a bigger vacation property and making this my own version of Barista FIRE
