Vinyl plank is the way to go.

I feel like most of those things are overrated though, and if I were to start off running my own brokerage the amount of work would be about the same or more.I would like to move into property management as well and my current brokerage doesn't support that, so I might end up establishing a cloud brokerage myself in about a year that allows other agents to engage in property management activities in CA.

Background:Newly engaged One is an Electrical apprentice (1 year w/ current company, 2 years with prior company)The other a Barista (3 years with same company)Good credit.Dual income is equal to 3.5x the monthly rent (assuming barista is including her tips in this figure)They have savings. 

BP is full of helpful resources, soak it up and engage as much as possible.

In my opinion laminate doesn't last as long as tile or vinyl planks, but you got it done.

They bring a wealth of resources to the conversation.Learn to attract and engage private lenders.

But remember the more experience likely the higher the billing rate will be so it will require some judgement to assess who meets your needs best.On a related theme you might ask for a name of some of this person's clients that are also engaged in activities similar to yours, or at least some general background on these clients if names are not to be revealed.You might ask your attorney or banker or insurance agent (if you have one or more) for a referral.

Just trying to see if anyone has experience with this entity before I engage an attorney.Thanks so much,Nhi Tran

@Nathan Click and Account Closed,Investors offering "peanuts" to their prospective lenders need to learn how to attract and engage lenders.

There are so many rules about what can and cannot be done in a retirement account and I like the stop gap between me and a whole lotta trouble, which is what the custodian does for me.While I would love the flexibility of being completely self managed, I also love having somebody else make sure I'm not engaging in a prohibited transaction or otherwise putting my entire 401k investments at risk.
