As someone who is a landlord and a AirBNB host, let me say "Don't freak out" Yes the tenant should have asked if they could run your property as an AirBNB destination, many people are doing just this, your tenant skipped the "Ask first" part.  As far as taking advantage of you by running your property as an AirBNB destination, let me tell you maintaining a property to get consistent 5 star reviews takes work, communication and planning. If your tenant is getting high reviews trust me your property will be fine, if there is a valid damage event by a guest most likely AirBNB will cover it, they have a 1 Million dollar guarantee.
AirBNB will allow the host to do a split every guest's payment, I'd highly recommend you work something out, take the daily rate X 20 days per month and that's probably close to what your tenant is making. Knowing approximately what your tenant is making work out something fair so they still get paid for doing the work and you get your share of taking the risk.

Attorney call Keith Harvey of Harvey and Williams, Google them, BP won't let me put in their phone number, he can handle anything you come up with, wholesaling, Sub to, purchasing a property without an agent, owner financing, ... not sure if you creative financing will work? Just call Keith

Very friendly neighborhood in Midlothian, kids walk to school.

Renovations done to the house.

Beautiful 2 story home built in 2008.. Nice country front porch, large utility room, custom kitchen , and a huge family room. The inside needs paint, flooring, and a few spots in the drywall patched.

Contractor quoted 15,000 for repairs 

ARV=$175,000.

The previous owner did not have a permit, so I haven't either.
FYI, the property is under contract at the moment.

Yes InvestorFuse is built on top of podio for Real Estate investors, with the help of their staff they can setup your contracts to be printed and mail with a click, e-mail follow, text followup which get's logged back into the activity log for that seller, track activity of each lead (well that's kinda built into Podio anyway) do one off print and mail postcards and track campaign ROI.
Their staff has been super helpful although it email/ticket based, scheduled training calls are available, also there's library of recorded webinars. I use Michael Quarles Alex call center and the staff at InvestorFuse figured out how to parse the seller lead e-mail data directly into InvestorFuse/Podio...boom!

If you have leads on papers/notepads spreadsheets and you know you're not following up Investor Fuse is for you, on day 1 we gathered up 20 leads and started following up which lead to getting one under contract although once we got the appointment (which was mostly due to the fact we were following up through the system) the onsite estimate of repair cost killed the deal...it happens.

It's not free or cheap, (although it less expensive of other programs, I'm not going to mention them in public) if you not serious InvestorFuse it's not for you.

I use InvestorFuse, you should check it out.
