Does it lay out payment methods?  

In kitchen/bath areas, we've used both Tile and vinyl, but both have their pros/cons.

Also need vinyl tile installed in a 1300 sq ft house in the 38127 area.

@Dave Foster great way to explain a reverse 1031 - it always seems to confuse people and this is a perfect way to lay it out, I may have to steal this two-step explanation in the future ;) Thanks for always adding value, even us ol' pros keep learning from you!

We lay our own flooring and it's holding up extremely well at this point.  

At this juncture it can be easy to point fingers at other parties and lay the blame there as people do not want to face their own possible short falls and areas that might need improvement. 

Got a SFR rental in Kingwood that needs a bathroom remodel..... the tile shower grout has failed over the years and has resulted in water damage to the surrounding walls etc.

While your story is a nice example of a deal in a very expensive market, it still leaves me wondering how those who don't have large sums of cash laying around can get started there.

The owners of the vacant/distressed properties seem to be okay with letting the property continue in disrepair, and/or letting the government lay a claim to it by neglecting to pay their taxes.

Know who you are laying in bed with.
