You could have thrown a bandaid on it and reglazed the tub at your desired cost only to discover that leak that caused the rotted floor would have resulted in the tub coming out next year. possible structure repair and maybe ceiling repair of the floor below with a new tub install and repair cost similar to what you are looking at now.

@Matthew PaulYeah I get it , better is a dry morsel and quietness therewith......and I would do the same and don't worry too much about the notice period and totally understand one month vacancy is pretty normal but I probably got lucky this time since a friend of mine has shown interest to move to my place right away.

Buyers have dried up in many markets, financing costs have gone up, leverage has gone down, collections risks has skyrocketed; etc.

Fill the cracks let dry .Paint I love Home Depot concrete paint 

That's why I was nervous and want to sell quickly, I want to get some funds back as cash and have the dry powder to load up if another crash comes.  

The landlord knows all this & chose to throw down some cheap carpet over floors so rotted they don't hold weight.

Also, while delayed financing is dried up at the moment, MC Mortgage in Wilmington, NC specializes in helping investors and they know their stuff backwards and forwards.

We have had a lot of rain recently but it has been 24 hours and I would expect it to have dried up by now.

That has been a concern of mine - I am currently trying to open up a line of credit with a local bank because I feel they may dry up if I wait any longer - lucky for me my local lender has been swamped with SBA loans (it's for good reason so I'm not salty).

I remember thinking, I'm just gonna let the bank do that if I ever buy a place in a dry lake bed.
