Nail Hit On Head!

I think you have to tell your tenants, “This is a very, very durable floor that has a 15 year warranty covering normal domestic activity and most liquid spills without damage, but drag a metal or a heavy piece of furniture or a chair with a nail or a piece of gravel stuck in the foot and it will scratch and that is preventable, not normal wear and tear.

If that doesn’t yield anything, increase it to 6 months and just be conservative with your numbers. if you absolutely nail down that a property is worth $250,000, I would plan on selling it for max $245,000 because buyers will always talk you down.

That being said, I generally over-rehab and replace anything remotely questionable so I don't have to deal with it later and empty out EVERYTHING not nailed down, which includes the attics and basements, which has worked well for us. 

go to the dollar tree buy those dollar boards, split them in half, write we buy houses on them with a Google number on them and nail them up around town.

@Joshua D. nailed it in my opinion.Frugality is all relative.

It's a 5 unit strip center in a good location with two nationally franchised tenants, their store, a hair salon that has been there for a long time, and in the process of signing on the last unit which will be a nail salon.

The main issue is if the nails are coming up and also you can only do it so many times.For the bathroom  I would be inclined NOT to use laminate, it is not so water tolerant.  

Trying to do so is a great way to end up in court and getting nailed as a creditor.

I just saw red flags when I saw it, and your post, was the nail in coffin.
