The potential damage will eat up your profit compared to a standard rental unit.  

Replacing the floors will definitely eat into my ROI now.

And as you've seen by listing your house, selling will eat a portion of your equity as well.

I only spend my money on eating out and necessity bills like rent obviously.

There's no excuse, and it has bothered me because I've always been an extreme type-A sort who can force himself to exercise and eat well.

If yes, then trying to tell the person who pays for the house you live in, food you eat, electricity you use etc how your way is better, can't come off in a respectful manner.

However, when my buyers use hard money, it frees up capital so that they can get multiple projects going at once.When it comes to hard money, you eat away at your profit margin with interest, inspection fees, and origination fees.

And it would be illegal for me to pass that fee on to the renters, meaning I would have to eat a fee for every payment.

I am now looking to purchase a 3rd property but I wont qualify because my 2 mortgages are eating up my income.

They start eating each other.
