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

@Ayana KodayWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

Improve your position by trading out and up.

Otherwise, simply compare rates, points, term, etc, and make a decision.

I reckon I better make some decisions, and fast.

So much for letting the Internet make major investment decisions for me :P Seriously though, thanks for weighing in.

Hey @Michael DeLuca , Congrats on your decision to embark in the incredibly lucrative world of house flipping.

We haven't made any concrete decisions about where we want to establish a team out of state but Memphis, Oklahoma City and Kansas City have stood out as early front runners.We're excited to learn, excited to be here, excited to meet other like-minded individuals, excited to build relationships and most importantly, excited to keep taking action to start reaching our goal of breaking my 'golden handcuffs' and reaching financial freedom!

Seems doomed to fail in any sort of market correction. maybe its like publicly traded companies that have Billion dollar valuations but make no money :) 

@Jordan FeinerWell you’re missing that you’ll be able to trade up if you add value.
