The big box stores only had 2mm in stock so will be visiting a couple of floor distributors to see if they had the thicker plank.For people who are using the Allure where are you buying it from?

Go here: http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/BarnardINC/file/70-repair-cost-form Simply fill in the costs after spending a great deal of time reseraching prices at the box stores.

I've won the forst 3 battles....so I am optimistic- but as I am sure you, and others know, there are always negative nancy's out there who do not like risk and outside the box thinking and just cannot wrap their head around doing something 'different'.Sooooo- YES _ I am a total TX fan- for investment (and for living) ....and as far as I can tell TX is still part of the USofA- so for now investing is across state lines only (not country lines) LOL (yes that was attempt at humor)- Starting off in RE - which I like- working with buyers and moreso Sellers- but I am discovering, and it is a discovery process, but I am finding that growing my future cash flow is something I want for us...but I am 'curious' about the CT market- there are people making money up there- just different money- [they are always blown away when you tell them TX figures- shocked blown away if they have never invested out of state] ..hmmmm maybe I should keep it my little secret!

Not to mention some great looking out of the box themes.

They cant think outside the box because they took a listing to sell it and earn their 2-3% and thats it.
