J Scott is truly my inspiration and my role model!

I am doing 250 sqft of new floors replacing carpet.I was thinking of going with this African inspired look.It's 1.89 floating vinyl from home depot.My concern is c+ renters expectations and taste.Here is linkhttp://www.homedepot.com/p/TrafficMASTER-Allure-6-in-x-36-in-African-Wood-Dark-Resilient-Vinyl-Plank-Flooring-24-sq-ft-Case-57111-0/202075777?

The shows are good for inspiration, but please don't rely on any of them to educate you!

Should you be interested in coaching an inspired, eager to learn newbie in this area, I thank you in advance for reaching out.'.

@Jameson Triplett Thanks for this post - its very inspiring.

Wow that's inspiring man!

To be honest, that experience, along with working in the electrical trade, are what inspired me to start learning about real estate investment.

Thanks again @Bryan A. , we purchased this October 2013.

We did this primarily because a) we can borrow at a lower cost and b) it is easier for us to use equity lines of credit on our existing Canadian properties, than secure a mortgage in the U.S.A.In your instance, where you are no longer resident in Britain, you should first determine whether you remain able to refinance your property under terms and at a rate that makes business sense.  

This isn't as big as some of the other inspirational stories on here but I view it as a win.I went through my first eviction late last year and lost a few months of rent on the unit while things were winding through the courts and before the sheriff could show up for the set out.
