@Julian Joseph I think your desire to learn more is the right approach.  Part of the reason that BiggerPockets is such a successful platform is because there are so many people who are willing to share.  @Ken Latchers, you have to remember that every venture isn't for everyone. We all have to find that niche and I know there are tons of ways for people to make money. I have been to many REI meetings where people were discouraging me from doing Airbnb because the laws are changing, and I have had to politely tell seasoned investors that it works for ME.

If Julian is serious and has a tenacious spirit, I think he can find success in Arbitrage.  There is always an opportunity in everything.  Personally I have researched Airbnb Arbitrage, and have found little success arbitraging, at least in my market, but I persist with looking for opportunities.

I personally hold and rent traditional real estate here in Central Florida and hold Short term rentals that I AirBnB, so I have a pretty good perspective of the market.  But being persistent and pursuing a idea is a great way to form your own niche in any market, and if you just ask, there is definitely someone out there willing to share.  Lastly, as a seasoned investor, I NEVER feel threatened by someone out there wanting to do what I do.  My motto is there more than enough business out there for everyone.  It's important to remember, that the market will always be a challenge, and we all need to work hard to keep our hustle game strong and make money.

@Julian Joseph so you want someone who is successful in the Airbnb space to tell you how to compete with them but you "don't mind buying lunch" as compensation for their endless knowledge? With a deal like that I am shocked everyone isn't jumping up and down for a Chik Fil A sandwich. I have a feeling your best bet is asking to intern for free or cheap for someone to learn what they know instead
