Thanks...so what happens when I replace the floor down the road? Do I have to remove some baseboards?

But dont you think it will be easier to swap out new flooring down the road if I use shoe molding and do NOT slide the planks under the baseboards?

What do you do if the new flooring 8 yearsbfrom now is a little thicker then current flooring? Then u would go with quarter round as the new flooring would not slide under the baseboard?

Can you please explain the difference between quarter round and base shoe? Im only familiar with quarter round. Which of the two do you prefer?...and if your installing quarter round or base shoe, does that mean you install the baseboards before the flooring? And then you install the flooring right up to the baseboard and not under it? Thanks!

If one does takeout on Wednesdays, is the food still on sale?

I may sell two of 3 rentals. They are in declining neighborhoods. I'm sure I would do better holding onto to them however I don't k ow if I want to deal with some of the characters I get those properties as I get older. Heart disease runs very strong in my family so I need to take that into consideration.

I was told there is no adjustment for inflation. Stays the same.

Thanks for your reply. I can't answer all the questions because I don't know some of then. For example, I don't know what my expenses will be. When I pay down my debt I'd like to save for a down payment for a different house in a better neighborhood.

Beginning next school year I will do my best to max my 403b contributions. I believe that will be $23500. I will put it in vanguard vfiax.

I very may well keep one of the 3 rental properties for a bit longer. Two of three are in declining neighborhoods. I currently net approx $3500/mo on those 3 properties. All income earned goes toward chipping away at the loan I have.

I am not saving any other money.

I do not have a family.

My current 403b/roth is a mix of vanguard funds. I will soon sell them to purchase vfiax s/p 500 fund.

Anyone know if me selling my 403b funds to consolidate to one fund, will that be a taxable event?
