So the difference is with tile when you turn you mop and shine it and then shampoo carpet upstairs rather than replace all the carpet down stairs as the wear and stains won't come out.You could also just keep the pad underneath and replace just the carpet itself or it if is just loose pay someone to re stretch it and fix bad spots.

I would just like to know is this a feasible idea or a long stretch????

Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Sorry I was a little stretched out on my explanation but hopefully it helps.

I felt stretched too thin, so I suggested a rental manager and my husband said no, so I quit my job in 2016.

I could probably finance the whole deal, but it might be a stretch, depending on what the total bid is.

I know you'll encounter some of this with any rental, but I don't think it's a stretch to think that a slightly more expensive units will attract less-stressful tenants.

If you are wanting to house hack and/or plan on holding for a really long (10+ years) or really short (<4 months), and find a great deal that you can afford, then go for it ... if however you are only finding mediocre deals (or no deals at all), your planned hold period is ~1-5 years, and/or you will have to stretch yourself really far financially to get into it, then I would keep studying, saving, and perhaps working in the RE field to gain experience.

However, if it will stretch and stress you to the MAX, it is not worth gambling on future appreciation as I am sure you would make a nice profit selling now.....that's my two cents.

Response rates are not great by any stretch of the imagination (at least for me), but occasionally someone does reach out and at least allows a conversation to begin.
