Starting Airbnb in Houston?

Im looking to get in to Air bnb in Houston, TX. Right now my biggest issues is finding a homeowner or apartment complex who will allow my to sub-lease the property on Air Bnb. Tons of people are doing it clearly, I just need to know what’s the most effective way to find homeowners who will allow you to do so?

Anything help would be greatly appreciated.

    Airbnb arbitrage is a numbers game @Keeyon Incle. A way to reverse engineer success would be to look on airbnb for where there's an apartment/condo/townhouse being listed for rent. Cross-reference google maps since Airbnb doesn't show you an exact address to see if you can find which complex the listing belongs to. Then call up the landlord and say something along the lines of "I noticed there's an airbnb listing in your complex, do you allow this?" Most of the time the landlord will be surprised and say it's illegal, but you may get those few who give you the answer you're looking for. Good luck!
