The new laminates look good and the edges I mentioned also have laminate all the way around the outside edge so you have a less chance of spills swelling and growing on the edge.

Quote from @Joe S.: Well since you telling the world that you have 500 K it’s not clear how you got 500k If you got it working can you get it again while you invest the first 500k into Assets? 

What's more frustrating is that at the end of the day; the finishing/prettyness portion of the project is where corners are sometimes cut to stop the bleeding which directly impacts the appraisals and ultimately; the money I get back at the end of the deal.I know there's an element of luck at play when finding deals (can't see through walls) and if that's the case..

That's your investment that's bleeding cash each month. 

So presumably, unless the OP is bleeding tons of cash even while rented, I think we're talking about a substantial amount of equity.

If you are weak of heart and think about it longer the bleeding continues.

Certainly MDF swells when wet.
