I can't see growing ever really working in an apartment setting, but SFRs with an outbuilding (detached garage, etc) might be workable.

It does't help that the agents are listing REO so freaking high and anything that is close to a workable price gets over bid or pulled off the market.

Finally the art of laying tile. using a putty knife scoop out your blobs of thinset and spread it over a small workable area.  

Do your due diligence, but speak with the expert who will take the time to understand your goals and will help you with creating workable plan.  

If the high estimate is something workable and you feel comfortable with your original estimate you have a good deal.

So you may want to look and see if this is an option that is workable for you.
