If it is tan get 4x4 tubmled traveltine (tan color called walnut) install on diagonal direction with some 2x2 dark brown inserts like metal finish.Another suggestion is to run a row of 4x4 tubled travertine the2" border on top of that then continue 4x4" tubled travertine in diagonal direction!

sounds like you have a great opportunity. i recommend the contact for deed route. as you mentioned you can get a lower down and more flexible terms. if you can get a 10-12 year ballon payment you should have no problem refi'ing out prior to that with a conventional loan and pay off owner contract. i would try to get the per unit down. you could try to show the total amount you would be paying when you add interest into the equation and see if he will come down on asking price, at least to market if not below. as well as play up the continued cash for with zero management headaches. ultimately if it cashflows well and you have good fixed debt for 10 plus years my experiences has been that price per unit is less of a factor. cash flow is king.

Even though indicators continue to signal strong, I've decided to back off (at least with market deals) and see what happens. 

When a borrower quit claims the deed it does not wipe out his note - only paying it off does.The note is securitized by the mortgage / deed of trust so basically whoever he quit claimed it to just got a house with major title issues.If the borrower is not paying that loan the 1st note holder can continue to add penalties and late fees etc and any legal.

I own several rentals there myself and will continue to buy more there.
