I'd really like to do tile, as its cheap and easy for me to put it, looks great, and if water got in ever, so what?

RENO will be $9,500.House in 2010 had new main service ran, A/C, hot water.

@John AdamkewitzWhen you add the following allowances & expenses:a) Vacanny - 8-10% of scheduled rent;b) Maintenance/CAPex - 10%c) Management - 7-10% (even if you are planning to manage yourself)d) Utilities - I know you say tenants pay utilities, does this include water & sewer?
