Anecdotally, I know a number of people who started by renting out their basement on Airbnb, and then made so much money off of it that they bought another house, which they pay the mortgage on by renting out the entirety of their original house.

I believe this. I’ve paid $100 a night before to rent a basement converted to a 2bed in-law unit (which was still the most economical option given the number of people/location). $3k/month is nothing to sneeze at
