This lack of rent income has put a big pinch on us as it's our primary income source.

Sure a 1031 might be more complicated with several SF homes, but individually speaking I think they’re a lot easier to dump if you find yourself in a pinch.

In a pinch, I can push it late, but much past midnight, and I might as well be typing with my nose or writing with my toes.

Newbie investor here - We own a rental property and our tenants had to break their lease given the climate, but like you're saying if you've got a reserve cushion and can cover the expenses in a pinch - it seems you've mitigated some of the risk and thought about your exit strategies.

Luxury vinyl plank can create pinch points and separate if going in under cabinets, but hardwoods and tile I place first, then cabinets.Definitely paint before flooring.
