The paper on the walls however was put on with something much, much stronger and the paper itself was quite thick.

They provided me with an appraisal of 110K on a property, I got in thick with them with deposits and purchase agreements and when I financed, the bank provided an appraisal of 84K.

I'm guessing it is a lower grade laminate flooring 7mm thick?

@Steve Vaughan I wasn't bothered by your response; I have thick skin:)  She wanted to purchase it and turn around and sell it as a lease option.

When your offer is weak (FHA on a 4 plex) you need to be aggressive, thick skinned and persistent.

Its a rough industry that can & will chew you up & spit you out if you do not have thick enough skin to push emotion to the side & make the tough calls based on the bottom line.

High quality thick and classy.

There are some other options like a toe kick saw that are like a small circular saw of sorts and cut flush right up to a wall -- so if you needed a 1/4" gap, you'd measure the saw kerf and use a temporary spacer strip sized to the thickness of the difference.  

I say this in a half kidding have serious way, for example I had a customer who owned a body shop, very old school with a thick Russian accent. 

Now in 2015 I will likely sell the portion of my portfolio with the lowest cashflow for huge capital gains and hold the rest through thick and thin.
