I had a cabin burn to the ground a few years ago near downtown Gatlinburg, and spent a small fortune building a timber frame log cabin out of thick yellow pine logs.

There is another easy route that requires thick skin, invest in warzone cause you will here many investors don't do it and because of that house in those area cost $10k or less.

The factors are based by this:Geographical LocationStone (many different to choose from)Thickness (I believe where you are 2cm (3/4") is standard)Edge ProfileCutouts (all are additional)Sinks (who is providing)I would use the figure $45/SF to cover your tail.

Property managers get slammed all the time on BP but they are thick skinned enough to deal with tenants who in a 36 unit building will have some that make your cringe and will suck up 90% of your time.Of course it would be a great hgtv show to have people who have never managed a MF building step in and take it over and manage it.

Anyway Edward Losloso calls me and in the first two minutes in thickly accented language tells me they can help me and I need to have a $150 consultation with a lawyer.  

Need 3/4 inch thick plywood.

When we were stationed in England, and bought our houses, we got a thick stack of documents going back to the Norman Invasion of 1066. 

I've used futons before but despite getting thick mattresses I haven't found them all that comfortable.

I prefer them over tile also because grout has to be maintained and cleaned and the thickness of tile over backer makes for a thicker installation.

I use the Authentic Plank product from Southwind which is an 8mm thick plank and does not require an underlayment.
