Good for you- many investors don't realize how vital rapport is.

i'm talking about the general 12mil wear layer kind.I just saw this rental listing on zillow, and its hardwood floor is scratched to hell >>  so I question whether LVP can even hold up.

I presume somewhere beneath the layers of paint is lead paint.  

If existing sheetrock can be replaced (or supplemented with) a product like Quiet Rock (sound dampened sheet rock) or Green Glue (sound dampening material that goes between sheet rock / drywall layers) I think you would get a significant reduction in conversations being heard in adjacent rooms.

The inspection report came back with multiple major issues:- Roof: instead of removing the older shingles before placing the new ones old they went ahead and place the new shingles on top of the old ones, meaning insurance won't cover me, being the older layer is more than 15 years old.

As everyone pointed out paying off lenders and or partners first is vitally important.  

The conductors are insulated separately, then combined together into a cable, which has an additional layer of insulation (aka "sheathing").The cables should be marked with a gauge.  

Is this an FHA requirement or a Lender Overlay (extra layer of protection to protect the lender)?

my big fear would be an IRS lien or something crazy that would go in front of any layer of protection I could come up with...Bill Gulley, you're right, i do plan on arguing with everything you say.
