To be sure I understand, as long as the tile company is willing to issue title insurance (both lender and owner), it should not be an issue- correct?  

You can easily replace a damaged tile with peel & stick unlike regular tile or LVP. 5.

You just install window units until the central AC is fixed.Done and done.

One wants to install a used refrigerator to save money, while the other wants a new refrigerator with a warranty.

A former tenant of mine asked me if I could tear up the tile in the house and put down new carpet.

Some ways to work with a designer to lower costs would be to have them only do selections and you perform the ordering and installations.

Did someone install too small a system, did the Freon leak out, are the air filters dirty. 

As is price point.. this will give you a better long term outcome.if you buy way under median your getting into renter dominated neighborhoods and schools for sure will be bottom ranked.. instead of going East have you considered Vegas.. lowest prop tax's basically in the country. no big weather issues  desert landscape super simple to take care of.. and Stucco homes with tile roofs no big thunder and wind storms to ruin roofs etc etc.. you can buy nice rental house there is a solid B location for about 300k. just worth checking out if you never have..

For example, they wanted new tile in the bathroom, its an older unit, so the grout is a little stained.

The $30,000 will just about cover the entire mini-split installation and at the end of it the well have fully separated heating that the residents can now pay for.
