Swapping out the toilet is fast. not sure about reglazing, but I'd get you might not be able to use it for a day or two-not a big deal. 

But they leave out the risks they took and times things didn't work out well.Most people started with something they lived in just so they can lower their living expenses and save more money, rent out the rooms or the other unit so your paying allot less in rent and mortgage.Allot of people did the toilet replacements and maintenance themselves in the beginning because they didn't have the money to pay someone else.So find a decent deal and buy it, just get started.It's easy to see people who are at the mountain top or clearly letting their snowball roll down that hill and miss the decade(s) of wading through the swap to get there.All you can do is learn as much as you can from them and just try to roll your snowball a little further up the hill.
