HSA's are the only sane choice, once you can fund them.

There is no choice out here because the law requires a professional to guarantee his work and also purchase a permit and get an inspection.

It's not a choice I would have made, but then, that's why there are different strokes for different folks.

You just need to make the choice and make the sacrifice.  

Good luck with your choice.

Doing vinyl downstairs was expensive, and it would be too much to install vinyl upstairs too so that leaves laminate as the only other choice I don't r-carpet it. 

This limits my choices further.3.

I recommend driving the area on a Saturday or Sunday when everyone's home or out walking about and find areas with homes that show outward signs of pride of ownership, then drive your choice neighborhoods at night to see what kind of people are out.

Brian- one word of caution- one of the biggest mistakes made during a 1031 exchange is making a poor purchase choice because of tight time frames and the need to "beat the clock"  Don't let the 1031 tail wag the dog.

@Eric E.Each is different, you can either look for it in the Housing Authority website or County website under housing or Housing choice Voucher payment standards.
