I use snap together vinyl  strips. I find the busiest patterns so you can’t see scratches. It is also easy to install. Good luck 👍

Just got to Mansfield to try something new! Just finishing up a rehab on my primary residence and looking to start the next chapter. Would love to connect with some locals!

I suggest you join a real estate group in your area. Find someone that is doing what you want to do. See if you can help that person in anyway. Also listen to the podcasts on this site. Good luck .

His program advertises “the good news and bad news about money “. Seems like it is always bad news.

Investing is like a poker game, seasoned investors have more chips on the table than you. They can take chances that you shouldnt and dont pay any attention to them (bidding practices). I say save your money and do a little research. Go and see how much you missed getting these houses  (public info). Next pretend you want to rent a property close to what you would be offering. I think these two things will help you make a good decision. good luck

I would find a partner (with skin in the game) in any area that interested me. I have properties in 2 counties in Ohio and things are going pretty well. Good luck.

My experience has been at my own home and one rental. The rental leach bed had tampons, baby wipes, cigarette butts, ear swabs, and of course rubbers clogging it. All of these items float so they go directly into the leach bed. The problem is Mr Backhoe has to dig up the yard before you find out what’s going on. Mr Backhoe is very well paid. At my home the contractor that was cleaning out the tank said “come here a minute “. I looked down in the tank and a feminine napkin looked like a pontoon boat floating around . My point is that all the family knew what to flush down the toilet, so I assume it was a guest. You can tell a renter what can be flushed, but that doesn’t mean they will do it.
