We don't earn enough to float two mortgages as the new one without a down payment would be a jumbo loan so our current home has to sell.

I will be honest a lot of the motivated sellers I have met aren't exactly related to Einstein if you catch my drift. 

And trash also floats in the middle of the Pacific.

You can install it and if it's floating off the floor too much, disassemble it, bite the bullet and level the floor.

They also have to deposit the rent and late fees directly at the bank - not try to float another 3 days using erentpayment.com

The rate is WSJ prime + 1% and floats with a floor of 4.25% and a ceiling of 18%.

Before you replace carpet, please consider taking a close look at floating vinyl plank flooring which can be installed at roughly the same cost.

It's comparable to the low to mid-grade Armstrong vinyl, depending on which specific product your buy.The big thing to consider when putting down vinyl plank flooring is whether you want a floating install or a direct glue install.

@Rob K makes a good point of most tenants lacking a savings account to float the cash.

Purchasing something subject-to using someone else's credit and/or finding a private investor to float the loan comes to mind.Do you feel comfortable using someone else's credit with your income?
