I use a more expensive plank product, not cheap - something middle grad with a good wear layer, they are solid, they have a great lock and then we lock it down o the perimeter with a molding piece. 

I actually forgot to add one vital piece of information.....right now I am positive cash flowing $450 a month.

I ask the above questions because they are vitally important in selecting and managing tenants.

Additional layers to tear off cost more and any plywood replacement was extra, but the rate was the rate more or less for every company.I figure Homewyse used an RSMeans style calculation and adjustments based on location.
