Looking for advice on showing landlords the benefits to Airbnb

I'm hoping to find some advice from some aribnb'ers using the rental arbitrage method. 

Any advice on getting landlords to deal with me.

It  really is better than the  hassle of typical tenant issues.


Thanks in advance!

I really appreciate the feed back. I would not be looking for a short term lease. I would like to lease for 12 to 18 months.

Also, these guest are  prescreened through the airbnb platform and if they book through the platform, airbnb backs them with 1 million dollar insurance coverage on qualifying claims. Not to mention. I won't call you for new paint, a broken toilet, a messed up door hinge. I just have  my handyman fix it because I have to check the next guest in. I actually don't have time to bother the landlord of small typical problems. And yes I would be generating a profit off of the property but the landlords get full rent without paying any management fee. In some case we offer to pay $100 on top of the asked rent. Or, rent to normal tenants, handle your own management, pay a management company or how  ever you choose so. 

I also respect that people work hard to build their rental portfolios and feel kind of disrespected when someone ask to host their property. But at the end of the day,the landlord still gets the rental money they ask and the property is professionally cleaned and maintained on a weekly basis. Once you were to see how this operates, you would want us to lease all your properties.

Thanks again for the discussion,I really do appreciate it!
