Ceramic?

The exterior cladding/panels are a proprietary blend of bio ceramic/ mag ox.

I’ve always put ceramic tile in my units but I was thinking about installing vinyl planks with the wood grain in this new project.

I took the 40-hour course and got certified to do lead abatement about 15 years ago and never was interested in getting involved with lead abatement.Lead is also found in older bathtubs when lead was put in the glazing and in ceramic tile.Personally, I think lead is more dangerous than asbestos because lead causes very serious mental issues for children children where they really do become mentally handicapped vs. the b.s. about mold and even when asbestos is present in a rental unit, or commercial building the chances that the asbestos is loose enough to circulate through the air is slim to none, but there are some rare claims.

About 15 years ago, I spent about $60,000 at each property changing all the beams and installed 600 lineal feet of ceramic tile for one balcony and all aluminum flooring on another.

We used a $19 Harbor Freight oscillating tool with metal blades & went through at least 4-5 of those spec'd for ceramic tile. 

We try to avoid ceramic tile when possible due to the time it takes, kitchen backsplash is the only exception.You can buy okay LVP at big box stores, but I usually prefer materials from a flooring store, better value.

It has ceramic tile, I’m not crazy about it but the current tenant likes it and it’s fairly tenant proof.

If your comps have granite/quartz kitchen counters and ceramic tile floors, don’t install Formica countertops and linoleum sheet flooring expecting to get the same number.

When I lived in the property, I updated the kitchen with nice appliances, ceramic tile flooring and also renovated the flooring in the master bath as well as update a spare bath.I know the property will need a new roof within the next few years and I am sure there are other items that will be coming up at some point such as the water heater again and possibly the HVAC again.The downside to this property is that this area of our city took a pretty significant hit in 2013-2015 with city assessments and the property assessment went from $213,100 (2013) to $164,300 (2014).
