Hi All,My name is Nicolas Sandoval, full time Design Engineer out of Southern California and I cannot believe the POWER of bigger pockets networking.

These tiles are herder to clean as dirt gets caught in the pock marks.We don't use porcelain, they are too brittle and harder to cut, more breakage.All ceramic tiles will chip, drop a heavy object on them and they will break, pour red wine on ceramic and leave it there for days and they will discolor a bit, but not usually bad enough to replace a tile, but if you have to, so be it, that's why you keep spares.I really don't see enough difference between the price grades to justify it and have never replaced a tile floor as yet, some are 20 years old and still look great.I am not saying you should choose the cheapest materials, you need a complete decorating scheme, that is neutral, easy on the eyes, and totally maintainable and durable.

From the investor side I know there are folks who like that they can access cheaper markets within an easy day trip, and get in a little wine tasting or what not as well. 

I've also heard providing a "welcome basket" or something like that with wine, chocolates, etc. also helps.

However title insurance companies are not just concerned about "Wining"a case to clear a title, but just as concerned about the possibility that someone will try.

I can do what I want... that doesn't mean buying yachts and bathing in the finest wines or anything silly... but having the money to travel, see the world, enjoy fine things (in moderation), etc...Beyond that, I want my net worth rising WHILE I'm retired.

@Nicolas Beaujean and @Bob Woelfel does it make the most sense to work with a HML that is local to the area in which the project takes place or is that a non-factor?

Thank you, Nicolas.
