Finding landlords that will allow for airbnb arbitrage

[Ji Hong]

Hi Everyone! 

I've been considering rental airbnb arbitrage for quite some time now. I've been doing the market research and narrowing down my search. However, every time i look into a city with what i think is potentially a good market, I tend to come across an issue of finding owners that will allow for arbitrage. 

1. There aren't that many "listed by owners" 
2. Agents tend to be uninterested in passing on the word the moment they hear corporate rentals, STR, or airbnb
3. Management companies run a lot of the listing in certain markets (ex. Kissimmee FL) and can't get in contact with owners at all. 

Has anyone else have had this issue or know a work around for this? 

Still learning a lot of the steps, but really determined to get at least one property off the ground this time! 
Any word of advice will be helpful! Thank you!
