@Nathaniel Weaver carpet, old carpet..

@Filipe Pereira He has been my tenant for a month lol I haven’t had to many conversations with him, haven’t needed too. He doesn’t complain or bother anything or anyone. His rent prolly hasn’t increased in years either! When inspecting the house he doesn’t keep the place clean either. I was trying to get ‘newer’ appliances up there but the moving company said no (long story)

@Filipe Pereira what do you think of doing this with COVID in place and laws that Connecticut have in place until February?

@Filipe Pereira yes absolutely is my number one answer, and I bought this property thinking this! Thanks for that Filipe! I wanted to find out if it would be a problem if I moved units given the FHA loan. Obviously fha requires you to live on property for at least a year and unsure if changing units would affect this..

@Daniel Sager Yes! That’s my thought process too! Not only to help in my own sanity but future tenants. I will have to do some research for a fix. Thank you and let me know what works!

@Theresa Harris yes I agree it’s not his fault but the damn floor haha his rent to extremely low and I need to renovate to get market value to get more cash flow but also improve my house value but may be hard with a tenant living there... but yes I’ll have to figure out something for myself for now.. thank you!

@Scott Passman

I agree. And this is what I’ve thought as well. Thank you for input

I have a situation, I am house hacking a 3 family house and I am living on the 2nd floor. My 3rd floor tenant keeps to himself and is a older gentlemen. However, most mornings I am woken up by him walking and the floor is really creaky! And most mornings he will start moving/walking at 2:30am-6am and it’s so loud it wakes me up and I continue to toss and turn and not get much sleep.

What can I do? What should I do?

P.s. his rent is low for the market, only paying $625 a month. His unit is outdated b/c he’s been there for 15 years!
