My plan is to move out of my existing house hack and into another’s house hack within next year as we see softness in Seattle and low interest rates.

I hate stereotypes that peg women as some soft, fragile creature that needs to be protected from this big, bad and horrible world.

If the door frame is wider than what you typically see, it usually means you have a 2x6 cedar stud not the soft pine that has been used for the last 50 years.

In Sacramento, there were a lot of foreclosures, but I'm not sure how soft the bottom end was as I was less active there.  

Take some time to expand your knowledge bass with books, podcast, networking, and any other way possible.

So totally near $40/sq ft since I have minimal soft costs. 

When it was fresh it was nice and soft one use and it's hard as a rock.

You can get vinyl floor which uses a pressure adhesive and the planks do not ship-lap or interlock; this allows each plank to be pulled-up/replaced without disassembling the entire floor.In (converted) houses, I tend towards hardwood (engineered or traditional), a good quality laminate, or ceramic/porcelain tiles (if the subfloor is stable enough).In {older}, stick-built multis, you are often compelled to use soft flooring options (carpet, vinyl, linoleum, cork), particularly in bedrooms and living rooms, due to sound transference.  

One way for a fast start is to take over an existing cash flowing portfolio in the many soft southern markets of the United States.

However our market here is still pretty soft.
