have you looked into weather or not the tile is still available?

So I cant relate to having to time my renters move-in and move out dates based on weather and seasons.

@Paul Aqua I would just strongly resist an old fashioned agency that makes you sit for "up time" at the front desk, requires in-person attendance at daily / weekly office meetings, etc.That's what brokerages stuck in the 1980s do.When  I did my first 10 months with Weichert, I did 320 hours on the front desk doing unpaid secretarial work.  

There was a bunch of stuff up high outside that I didn't want to deal with right now in this weather so I got a "winter waiver" for now.

Hopefully it will get done this week weather permitting. 

I am torn on weather I should sell the property or obtain financing to develop housing for long term rentals and vacation rentals as well.

coming from someone who has laminate in his kitchen, I don't recommend laminate. it absorbs water and warps easily and quickly if there is a spill or leak. in a flip, maybe it would work, but for a rental I would go with cheap tile since it is more durable and water resistant. also, you can replace individual tiles if need be

I really like how correction resistant that makes you. 

No one can resist saving money during the holiday time.

You have to purchase to be able to weather the storm.
