I’d rather the potential for long term residual “passive income” as opposed to a one time profit.

If your current floor was peel & stick, you could easily use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive of the damaged tiles, lift them up and drop in new replacement tiles.

Then there is this loan being offered, which has some residual value, which you can treat as income as it comes in.

There is no monthly payment reserve requirement on 1-unit homes (single family, condos, townhomes).VA also looks at what is called "residual income" for qualifying, not necessarily your debt-to-income ratio. 

No holes, use 3m adhesive hangers.

This is my attempt to solve the problem by reaching out to other bigger pocket investors who would be interested in using an airbnb to make residual income with me on this deal.

Upon closer inspection there was weed residue.

We have a duplex in Florida which had heavy smoke residue in it.

The quality of the carpet was very low they looked very shabby and flat in short order and the adhesive was a bear to get off when we tried to replace them.

Acclimate the flooring in the room for a couple days, clean the floor well, don't put it right on concrete, don't do anything the manufacturer says will void the warranty (like adding on any additional adhesive agent), don't install in areas that fluctuate in temperature a good amount throughout the year, etc.
