This direct booking website doesn't cost any more to operate.I'm not trying to be snarky @Dave Stokley because I have had that same attitude for the last several years myself, but seriously, from your perspective, having all eggs in the Airbnb basket, do you just feel like the risk is not there or do you have other backup plans if you were to be shut down, due to a bad guests and airbnb taking their side for whatever reason?

I posted my rental ad on multiple platforms (zillow, trulia, zumper, craigslist, apartments.com) and set the rate about 10% higher than the market with the intention to lower it gradually and also my unit is freshly renovated and nicer than the comps.

From a fair housing perspective, you should have written tenant evaluation criteria.

If you have $25K to put to use, best to use it on kitchen/bathroom remodels, landscaping, fresh paint, hardwood or similar floors instead of carpet, etc.

We were able to come in with fresh eyes and made the house look pretty again!!!

Full bathroom remodel, new flooring throughout and fresh paint. 

@Filipe PereiraThanks for sharing your perspective.

Remind the tenant that she obviously has not been happy there for quite some time as evidenced by the problems she has had with other tenants - and that this is her opportunity for a fresh start. 

OK, I am not a realtor so different perspective here.

I'm debating from a business and financial perspective, whether to sever the contract with him, regardless of the income.
