Adjust as needed how full you initially fill, so you don't get a huge ice cream cone effect.Its a lot of work holding a 60 pound bag of concrete mix and pouring into water in the tube, while the concrete dust in flying in your face.

I used to buy an A&W ice cream cone for ten cents, but now I have to pay $2.00 for the same thing.

Not everything is peaches-and-cream in the rental market in Puerto Rico.

You got creamed because you got in over your head. 20k over on something that doesn't cashflow properly is an impulse purchase not a level headed business decision. 

I believe you will find it will be like day trading if you are looking for the cream of the crop, you will have to be constantly watching what comes out because the steals will be gone in 15 minutes form the time the hot sheet comes out.

And how inflation affects you has alot to do with what you really consume, my ice cream has gone up and the carton is smaller, now that drastic!

Once a year we schedule an Ice Cream Social at each property. 

@Todd Dexheimer yes, new builds are getting creamed in every market.

Glass tile is usually more expensive, especially if you go with a boutique tile company like "tile shop,"  but I've usually done pretty well finding good tile selection and much better prices at Home Depot, Lowe's, and Menards.Here's one kitchen I was involved with where the backsplash has whites, creams, and tans, which ties the floor tile, appliances, granite, and cabinets together.As a separate thought, backsplashes are one inexpensive way to really class-up a kitchen and add value to an investment property, plus can make it nice enough to justify higher rents.
