For recent purchases: less than 3 years, you probably have to grow with them and think about how can you maximize returns: maybe ADUs, or Coin-laundry or e-pay, renting space on the property for storage, air b and b or mid term rentals, splitting the lots, Tic sales etc... or value add to increase appreciation faster!! 

A smoke detector in every bedroom and a smoke detector and carbon monitor in hallway of every floor and in the basement or attic IF you have furnace, hot water heater etc in them.

The heating and cooling seems to cause the vinyl to expand and contract (especially under rugs and piles of laundry where the floor is insulated from room air)   It was especially bad with the adhesive edged LVP we got from HD.   

@Ashish Acharya, @Nicholas Aiola, @Dave Foster, @David Orr, @Jason Watson, @Natalie Kolodij, @Bernard ReiszFriends, based on my prior failed attempts to address this issue offline, nobody really wanted to hold this hot potato in their hands.
