Vacation rentals in Tulum can generate substantial income for investors. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, rather a way to build a lucrative income.
But how much money can a Tulum vacation rental owner expect to make? Vacation rental income varies.
If you’re buying a Tulum vacation rental purely as a cash-flow investment, spending up to $100,000 for the property should be enough to generate a positive annual cash flow of about $10,000 to $12,000.
There are many vacation rentals that earn more than this number, however, this number is what you should expect.
So, for example, a Tulum home purchased for $500,000 should earn $50,000 to $60,000 in rental revenue each year.
If you plan to use a vacation rental often, remember that the more days you spend at your vacation home, the less revenue it will make.
A survey by vacation rental marketplace Vrbo found that the average owner who rents out a second home is able to collect more than $33,000 in annual rental revenue.
We asked a few vacation homeowners in Tulum how much money they make. The numbers were ranging from $1,800 to $3,900 USD monthly.
“With the strength of the Tulum real estate market where it is today and in the future, I do believe vacation rentals are a good investment,” says Brian who is from Texas and a recent buyer of 2 properties in Tulum.
Many people use vacation rental platforms to at least cover the costs of their own home while they wait for it to appreciate.
In fact, short-term vacation rentals in sought-after markets like Tulum now outpace long-term rentals for potential cash flow.
