I’m torn between granite, quartz, and acrylic.

I had my own massage therapy business, and decided to get my business degree during that time.

He/She will go though all the hoops to get a tenant occupying they new building for the amount they need to fulfill their obligation (1st month free, 3 month free, no charge for pets, Give you a foot massage, whatever) Now guess what happen next door in the 5-10 years old apartment building, they now feel they can raise their rent too.

They use a premixed acrylic grout that self seals in 24 hours and if it discolors it usually just topical, easily cleaned.

I was spending $8000 a month living in LA (mostly paid by BF) and then cut it down to 4500 moving to Dallas and then I really cut back on a lot of things: cable, downgrading to metro cell phone service from sprint, cut my Massage Envy membership that was $60/mo, getting.

For bathrooms, I use wood vanities with one-piece tops, acrylic tubs and tile surrounds.  

Owner finance deals can work if you are paying market or below sometimes and massaging the financing some with seller terms.All cash usually you get a good discount or higher cap rate. 

{Un}fortunately, there are enough landlords in our area who think students should live in derelict homes and pay top dollar for the privilege, that we have little problem standing out.As example, here is a washroom we re-did in our rooming house 18-month ago:The tub has an acrylic 3-piece surround, while the floor is porcelain tile (scored a great price on ends) and the vanity is real wood (expresso finish) with a granite top.  

Need to set up another massage with you bro haha.

While in school, my wife and I have built a very successful spa/wellness center, developed a residential laundry service with laundromat, and recently opened a massage school.
