New ceramic tile throughout the home, and matching granite countertops in all baths.

I think its realistic that i could pay cash, and renovate the property with all the proceeds of our personal home sale... and would then plan to refi and pull our initial cash back out... leaving us with pretty much the same mortgage payment we currently pay.. but for a larger property, worth more, and still have cash from the sale of our orginal house.... i would love to know everyones thoughts on the idea.. as well as thoughts of if you would sell the house given the increase in price per sqft from when we purchase it... ps since the purchase of our house, the kitchen has been redone with quartz counter tops and tile backsplash if that changes anything.

Hi All,The Situation: We are looking to buy a house that has been foreclosed on that was in the middle of a rehab and has been stripped, cleaned and some tile put in.

For $20 you can buy a kit that replaces all the working parts of a toilet. ie everything but the ceramic parts and the seat.

Is it a worthy look that will stand the test of time or something that fades and looks cheap after a couple of years... the price is not that much cheaper than removing the existing tile and putting in new tile so I just want the best possible look. 

Or the "brand new tile" floor is peel and stick tile placed on top of the busted up old ceramic tiles.

I installed subway tile to the ceiling for backsplash.

They are all related to tiling/waterproofing and they use some excellent materials I would like to try.

Its going to be glued down engineered wood or maybe 6x36 interceramic wood grain tile .
