You seem like a neutral guy not "pro Renatus" or "pro find it yourself" so my question to you is do you think it was worth it?

Remember, the goal of house hacking is to reduce your housing costsThe property must be cash flow neutral or cash flow positive at the current rents if you were to never move in.

Human nature and financial incentives can make it hard for an agent to be neutral when representing both the buyer and seller, or both the landlord and tenant.Tricky negotiations: An agent who represents parties with opposite interests can’t advocate for either.

Read the contract carefully and neutrally, and remember that ambiguity is construed against the drafter.

Very few tenants ask us to change a paint color, as we mostly use neutral colors from the start.We do regular inspections and if we find lease violations, we address it at that time.

Especially since most were dark and would take more paint to recover back to neutral. 

This may not be the best way, but I lay out the intentions, so that if a neutral third party reviews the agreement in the future, they can understand what we have agreed to even if something is left out.

Good bad, or neutral?

There's nothing wrong with that, just try to stay neutral with valuation.Speaking of which, comps are only what has be SOLD.

I've been wanting to repaint the interior of entire unit a more trendy but neutral color.
