I'm fairly certain that FW doesn't allow STR so they have the minimum listing date be 30 days Love seeing a fellow FW investor on here. 

Your tenants can set up automatic drafts for their rent payments, but make sure they do not set them up for the due date, as they will not process.

We asked the owner if we could start painting the house before the closing date...

What I've gathered so far, is that it is more than likely a step in their process to change the electric utility back into PM's name (they took care of all bills on our behalf) by the move-out date.

This is straight from the CFPB website: "Additionally, for 60 days from the date your loan servicing transfers, your new servicer cannot charge you a late fee or treat the payment as late if you sent it to your previous servicer on time or within the applicable grace period."

I wanted to confirm that to date they have never missed a payment and always returned principal?

This fourth month, the rent due date passes and I am upset.I write her a 10 day eviction notice (pay or quit).

I always collect social security numbers, driver's license numbers, date of birth, etc.

This might give a one-time (non-scalable) boost to cash flow, offer multiple value-add options, and allow the house-hacker peace of mind, via the assumed mortgage, in long-term breakeven or positive cash flow in the event that the value-add plans end up not being executed, and/or the person has to move out, and rent by the room or STR become unavailable for some reason at a future date.

Just got off the phone with the zoning guy and he said since both of my lots pre-date the zoning regulations in the city, they're grandfathered in so-to-speak, which means I am able to build a single family on each one!
