You should either buy with a DSCR up front if the property is eligible and self fund your rehab or hard money for acquisition, do most rehab to common areas with the exception of additional walls prior to refinancing into a long term DSCR loan. 

Just know what you're buying as there's still a lot of FP panels, 60 amp service, aluminum wiring, asbestos tiles/tape, and plaster & lathe walls.  

I usually adjust temperature right before a check in to make it comfortable for guest.Love the Honeywell 9000 color touchscreen thermostats.They also allow me to locking a temperature range so the guests can't set temperature to 60 in the summer.

The biggest mistake new investors make is to walk a property, maybe explain in general terms what they want and then let the contractor come up with the SoW.For a bedroom this could be:- replace carpet- repair closet dooror- remove carpet- remove curtains, nails and screws- replace closet doors, entry door SKU#- replace window SKU#- refinish hardwood floors 144 sqft, clear/oil-based- prep and paint all woodwork- patch walls, texture, paint walls eggshell white clay, ceiling flat white- replace light fixture SKU#, replace lightswitch w decora/white, replace 3 outlets&covers- install blinds SKU#Obviously, the cost would be quite different.

And the wall is built on top of that wood.

You're gonna need to provide more color here.
