Now since my family and I aren't too big on the area anymore (it's kind of secluded and not the best for kids) I'm thinking of renting it out until I get my credit back up for maybe the next year and then selling and using the money I make off of it to hopefully get a couple multi-units.

I am not a huge fan of it because the buyer gets taken for a ride all across the board. 

The next trick would be getting the wife on board who I'm sure would prefer a detached single family home.

I am new to posting on the board as wel.

When I wanted a sounding board / affirmation about my real estate purchase decision in relation to my non-real-estate investments and other financial goals (ie my IRAs, other stock holdings, startup equity options, etc.), it was outside of his scope.

file complaint with realtor board?

You gotta be kidding me.

:-)My very first response to that would be to buy Rich Dad's Cashflow Board game. https://www.richdad.com/products/cashflow-the-board-gamePlay it with friends until you figure out the best way to get into investment and out of the rat race.

I received a hardwood flooring quote on 1046 sq ft for $7,200.This is what they’d do: moving appliances, sealing non wooded areas, sanding new/original wood, hydrosanding, screen sanding, staining with Bona, satin finish to match staircase, reinstalling appliances, repair missing boards, remove oak thresholds for flat look and repair master bath header.they’d have 4-5 employees in the project and it would take 4-5 days. $7200 seems like a lot and it’s my first quote (plan to get more). is there a cheaper way to go about this?
