The smaller the grout lines, the "higher" one can leave the grout as less grout will be washed out in the cleaning process and less area for dirt to catch.

One thing I did find interesting when talking with the appraiser was he made a point not to use any foreclosures when searching for comps.

It's possible to turn the laundry room into another bathroom.The property was ravished by termites and seems to have lots of areas that need rehab. 

So, if there's an actual laundry room, I think it wouldn't be so hard to add a doggie-wash and it could really swing the choicehttp://barkpost.com/pet-suite/?

This also works great on driveways and sidewalks [concrete].You can also power wash the landscaping [no bleach].  

One corner has a car wash, one has a well est. church and the other has an abandoned house.

Did you mean he was the tenant with the right to buy the house or was he the owner who rented it out to someone who would eventually buy it from him?
