General rule of thumb I have heard is that carpet in a rental is expected to last about 5 years.The real fix here is buying premium higher traffic resistant carpet, or converting to a hard flooring on your next replacement, like LVP. 

This sounds like a mid term rental opportunity.

Its like dating, do not expect to close the deal on the first call, it takes 60-90 from that initial call to get someone to commit.2.

That's the roadmap and its spreading like wildfire.

Once that is complete, we plan to purchase the Pro membership.From what I have seen, the REI community is one that is open to helping each other and look forward to meeting like-minded people in our area.

I like the idea of gaining much more knowledge.

Having a solid team around you like agent, lender etc.

There's so much you could do with a property like that!

Essentially I'd like to partner with people that have deals but lack the construction side of things.

From your past posts, as well as what work you've mentioned being comfortable taking on yourself, I think you definitely have the requisite knowledge to act as your own GC and sub out any work you don't feel like taking on yourself.
