Circuit breakers should trip when the line voltage is shorted direct shorted, but if the short has high resistance, breakers will not trip but current will flow.

If you define getting ahead as not losing money/ having a positive rate of return while providing you and your family a stable recessions resistant long term investment that allows you to focus on the things that matter to you: I have gotten ahead in RE.I have never done anything that I'm not comfortable talking about on BP or else where. 

In the Asian household you are taught to always be polite and never be too pushy.If you are to follow this advice you will be a great son, but a terrible businessman.To be a great closer you need to be comfortable in being persistent when you are met with resistance from the seller.I cannot tell you how many times I have been yelled at by the other party.

Carpet is cheaper for sure, but tenants these days resist carpet for whatever reason.

Only then will you have the recession resistant income MHP owners love. 

I already max out this 401K every year but want to put away MORE pre-tax dollars, can i set up a personal Self Directed IRA, in addition to this 401K, so i can minimize my weekly tax bit.2. i want to buy RE through my 401k, which is not allowed, so this is a second reason for wanting to setup a Self Directed IRA personally.With the above notes, if you do this, has your employer given you any resistance in setting up pre-tax dollars to be sent to your IRA?

It isn't as think as the new $3.15 flooring but it is waterproof and scratch resistant.

Bathroom hardward (TP and towel racks) - mount to a 1x4 plaque that is screwed to studs. you can pretty much hang on it without pulling out the hardware. i use entry level granite countertops - stain resistant, and should last a long time. i put LVP through the entire house, bathrooms and closets included. its water proof and scratch resistant. while the initial cost is more than carpet, you wont have to replace it as often. i use Sherwin-Williams Harmony line of paint, in a semi-gloss sheen. the semi-gloss is easier to wipe off for small marks, and the harmony line has deodorizers built in. for exterior door knobs, i use the smartkey knobs from kwikset. you can rekey a knob in a few minutes - no need to pay rekeying fees anymore. last tip - figure out which appliances your market typically provides. in my market, its not common to provide washers and dryers, so i dont. thats one less thing to have to repair. 4. i dont see an issue with the gas stove. to convert to electric you will need to have a 220V plug, which could be costly to install if not already there. 

Tina,If this were at flip to a rental property, not an owner occupied home, you might have less resistance.
