Floor tiles breaks for 1 of 3 reasons. 1 wall  tile adhesive was used to put it down instead of thinset, 2 the thinset  is put down in a way that leaves parts of the tile "floating" meaning nothing underneath it. and 3 if it was put down right  someone put a hammer to it. you may have to re grout once every 3 or 4 years if tiled over wood sub floor thats it. and before you balk at the price of engineered hardwood. get away from home depot and lowes for your flooring and get to know lumber liquidators. you can always find great engineered hardwood for around $0.99 sqft.  

@David Dachtera  David my point is most of the folks out there and most certainly you.. have no clue as to how much litigation costs.. this is at best a small claims action.whats it going to cost to clean a house broom clean.. couple hundred bucks maybe a1k to patch and paint a few door dings.. now if they took a sledge hammer too it like our beautiful tenants do that would be one thing.I have had client think that the holes were pictures were hung should have been patched and painted LOL.. to the buyer it was a disaster to the seller its normal.you really think the judicial system should be bogged down with  HEY my seller left some dog poop in my new home...

Once I am able to accurately map them through quickbooks I feel like it will be easier, but the last thing I want to do is to do it incorrectly and then get hammered by the IRS...

Typically we hammer out a budget.

Also interest rates are rising and if they go up quickly, stock market REIT prices are going to get hammered in the short term.  

Having no loan on mine, the cash flow gets hammered by taxes.

I was in the same situation when I purchased last year and it appraised at 25k over asking price, felt good to make a purchase with that much equity without even lifting a hammer.

I’m getting a clearer picture of the direction that I want to go, so I want to be thorough.Tomorrow after work, I’m going to run the numbers on some practice properties on the MLS (my goal will be 2 for tomorrow, and 10 by the end of next week)I’m hoping to just hammer the hell out of running deals in a practice-type of atmosphere until it becomes somewhat second-nature.

Thanks @Jeff Burdick and @Lucas Hammer for reaching out.

Jack hammer a few holes in the bottom of it and put an sign on the curb - and on CL - that you are looking for fill.
