>>>>What @James Wise said<<<< Get a GOOD Licenced Electrician in there ASAP...And some of those old houses have no fire stops inside the walls, meaning they go up in flames very, very quickly.Make sure the electrician "Pulls the needed Permits" and is licenced and has good references.

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.

buyers are liars  sellers are liars.. you used him for information he sends you one text you found weird and then you buy through another agent.. if i was that agent I would just erase you from my contacts your totally reading way to much into things and assumptions etc.But like my dad said when we owned our brokerages and some agents are just flat jerks and some are sweet as can by and everything in the middle.. my dad said just put a $ sign on them.. if they bring you dollars who cares dont take it personal.I just close a deal yesterday with a wholesale company that I totally flamed here on BP because of rotten deals in Texas but i used them in another market since they brought me the highest price.. 

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.
