I haven't used it in a rental, but one floor I really like is the floating stuff from Fusion. 2/3 of my basement has their 12x24 "slate" tiles - they look nice, and whatever that surface is made out of is diamond hard.

Finding something you might be able to get creative with helped me find the 'diamond in the rough' properties when I ran numbers.

I have found this possible in the springs, but I had to send out about 25,000 mailers and speak to over 200 sellers on the phone to find this diamond in the rough.

True multifamily in Seattle can be brutaly competitive and have very low returns, although there's diamonds in the rough in every market.Happy to chat more over the phone or a coffee. 

These particular groups don't focus on gurus and selling speakers, they are much more about the reality instead of the dream:Black Diamond:  I host these in Waltham and Worcester, no fees or memberships or selling speakers, the next Waltham meeting is Tuesday, url in my signatureNEREIA:  Conventional REIA with memberships but very few selling speakers, I can't even remember the last time they had a guru.

There is a Black Diamond event in Waltham this week that you should try to attend.  

Bigger Pockets and Black Diamond are both examples of truly free content.

@Claude Diamond  is that really you?!?!  

Haven't found a deal that way yet, but I could probably buy some diamonds cheap that way.
