In a couple of the Airbnb places I stayed at, which had remote owners who I never saw, the manager was really just a minimum-wage sort of person who met me, oriented me, and periodically came in to do some light cleaning (I was a long-term (months) tenant). In Berlin, one of the guys had the gig as a "mini-job", and seemed quite unhappy when I tried to do any of the housekeeping myself - it was taking EUR out of his pocket by cutting his hours. I would think that it would be very easy, and cheap, to find assistants like this in the States who were not licensed PMs but were just plain folks.
