They look so nice beside the rough finish but I have done it in many projects..the only problem is cleaning abit and have to shave to make smooth in the areas where you put the outlet covers.* 4x4" tumbled travertine around 3.5-4$ per sf* 6"×24" leadger panels around $5-6.5 per panel (sf)Both i think usually less expensive than the mosaic sheets unless you got a deal on them that different story 😉Good LuckNote: pictues are taken from my projects !!!

As we uncover more information about loans, we find that maybe the income doesn't fit (peg 1) and the borrower only has 1 year self employment (peg 2) and maybe they have some credit challenges (peg 3) and on and on. 

I use the inspection to get a price reduction as well as to uncover issues that may not be immediately apparent.  

This should uncover any issues re: lead paint, asbestos. 

Unless you are willing to go to a not so nice part of town or fix up and force appreciation it will be very hard to find one.

All should be taken into account when investing, but it is risky to be dependent on appreciation alone for an investment.Given what you've said, it sounds like the value of the property should be going up so I would definitely hold onto the place unless you can uncover other opportunities where you strongly believe you'll be able to generate a higher ROI by selling. 

We have seen uncovered storage do very well. 

I agree its a bit risky, but as we uncovered..there were old tax liens on it which made it not workable. 

Our initial research uncovered that the house was purchased about 3 weeks ago by a mortgage guy from Washington state for $499K.

So you can imagine my surprise when we got a bill one month for $4100.I don't know exactly what was done when they updated our meter... but apparently that update uncovered a $4100 balance that the seller owed.
