That includes cement board, waterproofing, etc, but not the actual tiles.  

I found a big safe hidden and cemented under the flooring in one house..It took me 2 full days to grind the lock out and all I found in it was lots of metal shavings :-(

One of my favorites was to carry a bottle of rubber cement with me and put them where I could.

It has two really big walk in closets that used to be the old cement bank vaults.

:-)Also, as far as managing, if your criteria is set in cement, it's much easier to say no to people, even if they yank at your heartstrings.  

They're trolling for someone sloppy enough or naive enough to rent to them.I agree that you must have criteria set in cement.  

like others said, fix up the fence, paint the deck (you can do it yourself); put crown molding up in the home; stainless steel appliances would've been nice and not that much more $. got some of that colored paint cement and paint the frontway/stoop. someone can reseal the asphalt driveway for $50-$100. tile the bathtub; change the closet knobs. have you called the agents who have walked thru for feedback?

My close friend in Florida has big buildings and he fills up all the pools with cement to prevent from liability. 

The other plus is it will cover us if my husband wants to do an excavation job or make a cement countertop for someone (his new passion). 

I have seen people pull all the copper from the home and pour cement down all the drains because they were pissed off.
