You could also look at laying a floating floor over the existing carpet (depends on what it is) and then take it with you when you leave.The risk to the owner is the tenant leaves behind a substandard floor and you have to pay for new flooring.Try professionally cleaning the carpet (or rent a professional machine).

If you can swing floating the mortgage payments it’ll be worth it on the back end w/ all that appreciation...

Technician also took pictures of the final install of the Air Handler.Two month later, when the leak happened, technician was dispatched and he noticed that the drain line was backed up and the float safety switch was engaged.

Might just be best to find the best one I can on UpWork but thought I’d float it to the RE community to see if anyone has thoughts.

hloc are all floating rate to my knowledge.Not sure what sort of deals you are doing, but if you can cross-collaterize that might be the best because you don't have to pay for another loan nor the associated interest...

Pulled out the cheap (non-waterproof) laminate floated over it, then 2 layers of vinyl sheet flooring, then found the original wood floor which was severely rotted.

I installed 5mm COREtec floating LVP (w/ 20mil wear layer) over my 1985 wooden subfloor that seemed to be mostly level but boy can you still feel bumps all over the place.  

After a few years, he entered into a "option to buy" arrangement where the tenant would "float" an interest free loan as a "good faith" deposit to be in a "right of first refusal" to purchase the home from my friend (notarized and everything) in the near future.

I would add that I have used a reputable HML lender that does front some of the construction costs but of course, not all, 3 draws of 1/3 the construction costs were provided, the first draw within the first week of the loan(the subsequent draws required third-party inspection of course) and the draws specifically state they are for material, not any labor, so a first time HML investor needs to be prepared with additional liquid cash assets as you may have to float some of the construction contracts as you mentioned being that most contractors want up to half of the contract cost up front.

I have a hybrid...fixed for 7 years, floats for the remaining 18 years...with maximum rate increases per year during the floating period and a maximum cumulative rate increase over the loan term.
