Leveraging AirBnb while renting from owner?

[Brandon Klunder]

On IG yesterday and came across a guy who's caption said "2.4 million in 9 months using AirBnb"...intrigued and I listened.

His premise is that he finds properties for rent and goes to the owner and utilizes corporate rental strategy to list the prop on the site. Basically an agreement by the homeowner to let him sign the rental agreement and then he uses the property as a short term rental to pay the rent and make cash on net earnings. The idea is crazy intriguing and I have ran numbers that could show definite promise and the ability to scale super quickly.

As I have not dove into the Airbnb space yet, I would love to get feedback on this. Is he in just a new space that could be the next wave or is it way too good to be true?
