If he owns nothing and provides so little value, I would bet its only a matter of time until he is cut out of the pie.

Seems like he manages the whole reservation process and guest back and forth for a large number of properties. That's a large part of what established property managers do.

True - however, I think he specifically targets older, tech-illiterate owners of properties who wouldn't otherwise be on Airbnb, or less so. At least that's what I've gathered from my nosey observations.

Why so? Do the owners provide any value?
