I have ask my landlord to replace my carpet since it's been over 10 years since I moved in she has agreed to replace the carpet on several occasions  however stated that  the property owner needs to come and inspect the carpet to make sure that  it is not  above and beyond normal wear and tear it is my understanding that in California the carpet should be replaced after 10 years  it is has bugs in it  there is no padding left  it is filthy grungy and it's already been cleaned twice and no  difference  because I am diabetic if I can have it replace laminate flooring that are being installed and all the  recently vacated units  which are being renovated I asked her on several occasions if I can have laminate floor instead of carpet and she stated that they cannot install laminate flooring in upstairs units due to the noise however I just discovered that the unit adjacent to mine on the upstairs floor  just  was renovated and they installed laminate flooring as this discrimination can I demand  this type of flooring  and ask  her about the new laminate flooring on the second floor policy and why I am unable to  have the same  can I demand that type of flooring or do I have to have carpet  I also feel she is being discriminating against me for no reason  she has been short when I ask for repairs  I asked to move to the downstairs unit and she gave me a whole rant about how she doesn't think that the property owners would allow me to move down there based on my rent being late once or twice  and a bunch of other reasons which I don't think it's her business  to point these things out to me or rather she should just give me the application or instructions on how to go about it and let the property owners make that decision  do I have any basis for discrimination  complaint against her with the fair housing authorities  California

Mike were talking about you today, He just got an Email from Ben Frederick saying some of the new inspection standards will likely change.

I bought a property, whole sale, no inspection, etc.  

Once the property is under contract I have it inspected to determine the current condition and life expectancy of all major components and appliances.  

If Zillow is right, it’s closer to $300K.

So I appreciate the insight and actionable suggestions.1) I understand the instruction here and I'll reach out to Andrew for more info.2) I recently saw an article about Series LLC so I'll have to take a closer look and contact Ronald for more advice.3) I completely understand and thanks for another referral!

Hey Joey - I would suggest taking the money you could make in the sale of the property and reinvesting it into another closer to you, where you'll be able to manage it more easily. 

I'm not sure if your wife works or not, but if you made something closer to $70k a year, she would have a CHOICE to work or not, which is not realistic on only $35k. 

If it is owner occupied and you are converting it and trying to buy another owner occupied, they want it to make sense - meaning it is closer to work, larger, etc. 

This should drop your score by less than 10 points, probably closer to 5.
