FLOOR PREP CARPET
You can put carpet over an uneven floor, BUT
Every ridge, Gap or mis alignment in the sub floor will show through over time.
Here is a good rule of thumb.. If a gap or a height difference greater than the thickness of a Nickel is present, it will show through the carpet sooner or later.
Carpet cushion will help, but it is not "floor prep" on a roll & will not fix anything, only mask it some.
Ardex floor feather finish is a great & easy product to skim coat & feather out and fill in differences, it is available at any carpet installation supply house or the home centers.. DO NOT use dependable white crack filler, it will crack & break apart and cause you more problems in the long run.

Always, always choose neutral colors for carpets/flooring. That way you can put any color furniture on top of them.

If you use a bright color in flooring it limits what you can do with the rest of the room.
Does a mortgage down payment calutalor really work?
Yes, a mortgage down payment calculator will allow you to determine the appropriate down payment for a specific situation. The calculator will provide different down payment amounts based on the other mortgage data (amount borrowed, interest rate, term, etc.) to help you decide the appropriate down payment for your situation. Not strictly so. Down payments are set by the lender and reflect the lender's degree of confidence in the borrower's ability to repay. A borrower should put as much down as possible because they avoid interest on that part of the purchase price. One may consult a calculator but the results are not binding on the lender.

Is a particle board floor smooth enough to put laminate flooring down on. Existing floor has carpet and a matting underneath the carpet. Should the laminate be placed over the matting or on the parti?
Particle board is smooth enough to put a laminate down, but you also need to be sure the floor is level enough. Between each 4 x 8 sheet you could have crowning or also a raised floor joist can be the death of your new floor. Laminates are floating floors and are prone to problems when the subfloor has even minor humps or dips. Pergo requires floors to be level within an 1/8" in a 6 ft radius. I believe that is a pretty good rule to stick to. As to the carpet padding. It needs to come up and place down the manufactures recommended laminate pad. They are a lot denser then carpet pads. Also if you choose not to do so you have voided your warranty.
