If you want to go commercial try a mixed use building first and I think that will get the commercial bug out of your system really quickly.

I will use medium grade porcelain tiles or better tiles that were a deal, and then mix in high end glass or decorative tiles.

Im from Scituate, Ma so I know all the Boston way to speak... though I've been working throughout the southeast the past 3.5 years so my Boston accent has faded and become mixed with a southern twangy accent....

I used to just buy the premixed 5 gallon cans and when it got down to about 1-2 gallons buy another one and mix them together.

As I looked out at the corner it was on, my mind started tearing things down and moving things, then adding a few of the neighboring properties to the mix, and bang, I got excited and had a new project.A similar thing happen one day when I passed a commercial property that had been on the market for four years and the latest listing had just expired.

That way you only need to save one or two boxes of tiles for future repairs instead of 10 boxes of mixed tiles.

Emotions and real estate don't mix.
