Easy to clean, good for traffic, easy to touch up (key).And, you guessed it, the color choice was inspired by what the previous owner had used in my fourplex....

I will have other living arrangements, so I do not need to replace my current home with another.Feel like there may be better choices to use the approx. 100k to create an income stream similar to the duplex.

Safest option for landlords is NO pets.

One of the things I have done on this house is really concentrate on clear concise communication with my contractor on design, choices etc.. 

Lastly sometime when you get a big equity gain the best choice is to flip it out and capture that equity to reinvest elsewhere.  

You could choose to pay a lawyer to do your job, depending on how tenant friendly your state is, or simply learn how to evict on your own, your choice.

you don't have a choice but to pay it!    

My choices are FHA with 3.5 down.

However we do need to be able to look at how someone is running their life, and make a free personal choice as to whether or not we want to mingle our affairs by giving them possession of our property.

Here's the rub - Three years ago I made some impossible choices for the right reasons and am now curing my functionally obsolescent financial position.
