I recently had a house close on with a completely remodeled house built in the 60s i believe and the VA appraiser failed it 3 times due to paint chips on the ground outside the house that no one could seem to find. 

Another week or two as the virus hits peak chaos and I’m pushing all my chips in.

You have blue chip companies like CAT, 3M, JPMorgan paying 4% Dividends or greater.  

This also helps with durability as if there are any spacing issues, it will be more likely to chip/peel as your tenants wear and move over the floor.

I have had several 90 year old tubs reglazed.....looks great at first but is not very durable, even the guys who are the pros can only do so good, DO NOT use the hardware store over the counter refinish kits, they are garbage...the pro job will last 5+ years but they will eventually chip or peel(some sooner than others) and/or if your tenant uses the wrong cleaners(abrasives like AJAX) it will speed up that failure.

I think I chipped all the tile off of the face of the concrete first to attempt to get the job broken down to manageable sections.

I'm going to allow my tenants to chip away at those rents as they can with the caveat that they need to be repaid within a year.

Check the tongues for chips, if they are all hacked up it makes it more difficult to lay.

(husband and wife team like Chip and Joanna, but much older!) 

Amen, brother.It's the mentality and lack of fiscal and moral discipline of the broke people that help keeps them so broke.It drives me nuts when I see someone using EBT cards to buy each of their 4 kids a $1.39 bottle of bug juice or other sugary drink and individual sized bag of chips.
