It’s a decision many North Texans<\/a> have already made \u2013 or soon will \u2013 as the region prepares for an influx of visitors during the 2026 FIFA World Cup<\/a>: whether to rent out their homes to traveling fans.<\/p>\n

A new online calculator aims to help first\u2011time hosts estimate how much revenue they could generate.<\/p>\n

Plano<\/a> resident Jennifer Asher has her four\u2011bedroom home, complete with a pool, ready for what she hopes will be a profitable summer.<\/p>\n

“I have already had one rental from somebody saying she’s coming in for the World Cup and she’s going to stay extra time to see her family,” Asher said.<\/p>\n

Her home is listed for between $450 and $700 a night during the tournament.<\/p>\n

“So have it a little bit higher rate is always nice,” she said. “If you are comfortable with having somebody in your house and with all of your stuff there then I love doing Airbnb.”<\/p>\n

Airbnb launches new earnings tool<\/p>\n

Airbnb is making it easier for homeowners curious about renting during the World Cup with a free online calculator. Users simply enter their address to see projected earnings.<\/p>\n

According to Airbnb spokesperson Kevin Munoz, the tool shows that homeowners don’t need to live near AT&T Stadium to benefit. A property in Murphy, for example, can generate earnings similar to one in Arlington.<\/p>\n

Asher says new hosts should take time to prepare and screen guests carefully.<\/p>\n

“Ask a lot of questions of the people you’re renting to that are important to you,” she said. “I’m very allergic to smoke. I make absolutely sure that anybody I’m renting to does not smoke.”<\/p>\n

Airbnb says it has registered bookings with 100,000 new customers who have listed properties in host cities. The company is also offering a $750 bonus to homeowners who use the platform for the first time.<\/p>\n
