He had shoulder surgery himself, so he wasn't working. ;-) I have properties.

@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

Note: there also is no law that says you can’t attempt to perform your own heart surgery either.....

There are both plastic and metal kinds; I'd use the metal kind in a rental. 

As a former wrestler and now coach, I love the wrestling analogy for success.Don't quote me - but I've heard that the percentage of former wrestlers in brain surgery is crazy high...

@Christopher Giannino buying real estate is not rocket surgery. 

You should know, though, that it needs a heck of a lot more than just cosmetic work--your shower is leaking inside the wall (hence, the telltale plastic bag taped inside the shower because the moist wall is making the tile fall off), needs to be gutted, new shower tree built.

For those who aren't familiar with this style of job, I'm on the road all day every day - I'll support a surgery in the morning, bounce from one hospital to another, to various Dr. offices, and so on.
