So, if you buy with, say, a 3.5% down FHA loan, and then have to sell, you'll have to bring your "deferred down payment" to the table to sell.Rentals are, to a large extent, a cash-on-cash return game.

using flooring nails and a power nailer which is the best way to go. so you don't beat the wood with dents from missed hammer blows.but if all you have is a hammer have at it but be careful.ok now for the staining.I recommend you get three cans of stain all of which should be close to your color of floor. going a little darker but not lighter. if you use three colors lighter by a shade if you use four colorscarefully use a darker shade against the nearest board of the old floor followed by your lightest shade followed by another darker shade followed by the middle shade. be sure to stay in the lines of the board and try not to go astray.actually using a rag turn it but dont worry too much about keeping your colors too separated the more contamination of stain from board to board the better it will give more illusion of uniformity in contrast this sounds contradictory to what I said about staying in the lines.
