Stable income: Somewhat stable

I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 because while there is potential for consistent income, it heavily depends on location, property quality, and market demand. Some months can be lucrative, but others may see fewer bookings, making it less predictable than a stable job. It’s not a 2 because with the right strategy and location, many hosts do achieve a decent baseline income. However, it’s not a 4 due to the variability in bookings and potential for unexpected expenses.
