Thanks for the feedback, I can def give this a shot.

I would do LVP. waterproof and durable, and have a shot at saving the original floors down the road if needed. 

Real estate property prices have shot up like crazy in Texas.

Worth a shot to find out though. 

Home prices have shot up in the Poconos, there's very few homes for sale, there's bidding wars on the few homes that are for sale, and there's a drastic shortage of available workers.

In my experience, when a pototential tenant hides an applicant - husband, friend, signficant other, whoever - they are doing it because they have been shot down before for something in their background. 

@Mary M. shots fired LOL.  

They Seriously want someone to stand there and take A MUG SHOT… They should really reconsider revisit their public relation tactics and take out number 1. 

They seem to lend on vacant lots and farm it's worth a shot.

There's definitely a human (emotional) element to this scenario, but from those more experienced...are most sellers in this position open to further questions for understanding the property or do they tend to be a "you get one shot, make it quick" kind of thing?
