Another week or two as the virus hits peak chaos and I’m pushing all my chips in.

You have blue chip companies like CAT, 3M, JPMorgan paying 4% Dividends or greater.  

This also helps with durability as if there are any spacing issues, it will be more likely to chip/peel as your tenants wear and move over the floor.

The Belcourt area of Seven Oaks (93311) is still under construction in parts so they may have the gates open on the weekend for open houses. 

I have had several 90 year old tubs reglazed.....looks great at first but is not very durable, even the guys who are the pros can only do so good, DO NOT use the hardware store over the counter refinish kits, they are garbage...the pro job will last 5+ years but they will eventually chip or peel(some sooner than others) and/or if your tenant uses the wrong cleaners(abrasives like AJAX) it will speed up that failure.

Based on your experience, is it worthwhile to look around Chicago area, like Oak Park, for example?

In terms of living in the area, I live in Granada Hills, and have friends that live in Chatsworth, Sherman Oaks, Canoga Park, basically Valley wide, so I'm familiar with the market out here, and yeah it's not cheap.

I think I chipped all the tile off of the face of the concrete first to attempt to get the job broken down to manageable sections.
