You good contertops and do a tile back splash with some color I think white subway is becoming a bit dated.  

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.

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.

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."

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.
