We are the first room at the top of the stairs

I would call it a non-issue as long as you plan a siding over-lay and the property does not have any structural issues form the added weight of the chosen material, ie don't go cement board, think vinyl or engineered wood product. 

Things like stairs and windows may no longer suffice.Lastly, changes of use normally trigger code and zonign issues.

It makes no sense that a fridge is not allowed up the stairs but large couches are.How to handle it?

The one time I've done an upstairs laundry I had what was basically a tile shower base built, with a curb, so I would never see water running down the stairs.

I think in-person training can be more valuable as you get to participate in conversations with the class and hear anecdotal stories from the instructor, which all help cement important points.

Ultimately, I drew the plans, went through zoning/ permitting, demoed the existing structures on property, did all the land clearing. framed it, siding, installed all flooring, stairs, trim, stonework, storm water retention ponds & site work.

In addition the use of it as a global currency standard cemented a strong position in that value placement.

On a newer flip/build that person went over budget and probably added carpet in 1 or 2 bedrooms to scale back expenses to make the numbers work better.We typically do LVP on everything and carpet on stairs.
