Thanks Brandon,Yes after removing all of the staples and tackstrips, I did attempt to refinish the hardwood floors myself, unfortunately as a rookie, I did not heed the advice of getting the drum sander.

Why would someone even attempt to buy if someone doesn't have the money? 

They were understanding and only made minimal attempts to try and persuade me to stay.If you've been considering making this transition but thought it would be difficult, hopefully, this will be useful in your decision-making process.

I wouldn't have ever attempted it as a beginner. 

Attempted to buy a small 4-unit MF with FHA.

A few strategize people use to attempt to cashflow or at least break even is rent the house by the room instead of renting out to a family.

I attempt to, but it's a no go. 

I suppose you could work out a plan with the tenants to do a more gradual increase of the rent rather than doing it all at once to be more income-friendly and to allow them to attempt to budget for the increase but you may also risk losing them anyway. 

I will attempt Ring central. 

I am attempting to evacuate Florida as we speak, so the courier pigeon may be my only option as many of the cell towers are not working!
