. = $220 at MenardsTub $275 at LowesTub surround $220 at Lowesor Tub Porcelain tile surround 60 sq feet at 2.00 = $120 + mastic and grout $100 at LowesFaucets, towel racks, and such $300 at LowesSo about $1500 in materials.I'd normally pay about $300 for demo. $200 to lay the flooring, $1000 to set the vanity and vinyl tub with surround and $200 to hang light, mirror and towel racks.

I figure I need about $200 in miscellaneous materials for a job (flue pipe, screws, tape, mastic, etc...)

If you go tile, start small with a backsplash or something and don't use mastic, but use real thinset that you must mix.

What happens at your closing, if it’s assigned, double closed or traded for a pack of gum, is utterly irrelevant, because the law would already have been broken if that person double closing had at any point prior to the closing “offered to sell” or “ deals in real estate contracts” again what happens at the closing table is irrelevant because by that time the law would have already been violated, by the time someone is at your closing table and double closing a deal, presumably by “offering to sell” the law was already violated prior to them even coming to your closing table You might be right... if VA law actually read the way you claim.

So, unfortunately, what ends up happening is that many (not necessarily all, but many) landlords get pushed by the market dynamics, pricing, etc. holding a long time, or they go there freely day one, into "slum lording" ... that is, not updating these systems properly when they break, dragging out the usable life with bubble gum and duct tape, and renting out basically dilapidated and unsafe properties because the economics don't lend themselves to fixing them properly.2)Not to say you can't still make money in these markets, but it is a different strategy.

We have however learnt a lot over the past one year through bigger pockets and our own experience with this bubble gum on our shoes.

Homeownership should not be as easy as buying a piece of gum from the grocery store.

I use mastic (tile adhesive) to float tile grout lines or unevenness and just use the peel-and-stick over top of that once it's flat, dry, and clean.
