It was a lot cheaper than an established one listed for sale.

Finding a good company can be a pretty difficult challenge. Either they're going to charge a lot, or they will not get the job done. After trying to clean the floor by myself, I've decided that time has come for hiring a professional. I've talked with my wife about this, and she said that we should call someone from emop.co.uk because a friend of hers works with them and she was satisfied with their services. Said and done. Next week, they will come to my house and hopefully solve the issue. I don't know how the floors have gotten so bad, haha.

@Mishapr do you own a home or do you rent? I find it's easier when you own but financing a home to begin with, that was the hardest part. I'm also a very private person so buying was a fucking nightmare, and reps are really shitty people if you refuse to give them unnecessary details.
I also think that owning is better because that means you can sublease and make free money. Literally, I can rent a guest bed in my house. I've been seriously considering it.

In terms of your guest bed, It's an Income waiting to be put In use.

Secondly, you can build a private house to your liking and make the layout the way you want.Simply put, yes, this is secondary to having shelter and a bed. But it is very important that your space is clean and personalized to your needs and design requirements too. Good answer.

I own a home. Well, as much as you can really own one. I pay a note on a home.
I have over 100k invested in it but if I miss a few payments, lose my job etc. , the b*nk owns my home and at that point I might as well have been renting this whole time.

Would you rather have an apartment or a house?
I say, apartment. Well starting off you should get an apartment, the costs are less and maintenance is at a low. Getting a house right away, when you don't even really know how to finance that sort of stuff, you would be drained of all your money. I do not know, I always thought mortgage was worse than rent in a way. But yeah when you grow a little bit older and get more money, then you get a house!
It really depends on how much space you really need and if you are buying or renting. Im at the point where I have a family and want to invest, so a house is a good play for me. Renting is just paying for someone else's investment but can be fine if you don't need as much space.
