Living in one of the most expensive areas in the country, I don't expect to be able to do any cash deals here for a loooong time.

Over the last couple months I've been *obsessed* with REI and trying to create a better path to retirement and hopefully an exit strategy out of my 9-9 job.

I feel upfront disclosure is best, thanks for the encouragement to stay on the right path.

Unless things are different in different parts of the country but I don't think so... if you read the fine print of the warranty of tub reglazers there will be a paragraph about not setting anything on the reglazed bathtub ever again, meaning, no soap, no shampoo bottles etc... this is a pretty good indication of the resilience of the process, they are basically worried about anything on the surface for a long period of time causing moisture issues and bubbling the 'reglaze'. 

If you google search you can finds many in different parts of the country
