Tenants probably won't treat the HW that well but if it's thick you can always sand and reseal between tenants.

My property, an SFR, is in Calera, 35 miles south of the center of Birmingham.It would be great if your recommendation was already serving areas south of the city - I am concerned with the PM having to “go out of the way” for me.If you have someone you’ve done business with for a number of years, especially “through thick and thin,” it’d be totally great to hear that type of recommendation.If you only have someone you’ve met and liked - with little else - no need to comment, please.

The mortar under the tile appears to be two layers thick.

I carry a big thick magic marker to write the address on the door if ness.

In all of these cases the properties are current rentals owned by a landlord.Sorry to hijack the thread about cashflow, but I am just looking for good advice on how to perceive these deals and whether or not there is a good threshold for what's an acceptable deal from a tenant and cashflow perspective, or whether I should solely be looking at the cashflow and just build a thick skin and deal with strange tenant situations.  

You will be motivated to show but you need a thick skinlistening to potential buyers, you also need to listen and keep your mouth shut.

I have thick skin too so let me have it please.Gracias.D

@Ryan Ellis and @Nicole W...... the Lifeproof LVT is luxury vinyl planks/tile.... looks like real wood or tile...you can get in "click together" or "peel and stick"....it made of vinyl...no wood in it at all....you can soak it in water and nothing happens...it plastic...Nicole...I think what you  are thinking of is vinyl sheets... the big rolls or squares that get glued down...like back in the 70's :) The LVT are planks that are between 12 mm thick....come in boxes of planks that are usually 6-8 inches wide..... 48-60 inches long etcWhen most people talk about "laminate" they are usually referring to a product with a thin synthetic material bonded to a wood backing....the synthetic part has a printed image of the wood grain etc...the vast majority of them have some wood backing, so if they get wet, they soak up water and buckle/warp etc....the surface it very durable, but the backing is not water proof in most of them...usually "click together" etc....That's the nice thing about LVT/LVP..... if you buy the decent stuff it looks and act just like laminate but is 100% water proof....and the surface is just as durable if not more so then laminateTile is a great choice too, but not as DIY friendly to the average landlord

I have come from humble background and did not have money to study abroad, but still went ahead and persevere through thick and thin, and finally made it.You should make your goal and then keep on working towards it.

Plus I have a thick skin from the Military!
