Find what works best for you and lay out a plan and a set of reachable goals and then execute them. 

Framing for the slabWe started with the slab- which included having to really commit to the layout in order to lay down the plumbing.

Can I bring in a partner for the second one and how the lay out should be?

I have also learned that the asbestos is normally in the tile under a vinyl cover so the tile does not exude asbestos naturally but can if it is broken up while being removed.   

I'm underpricing the units by 50-75$ to get lots of attention on my ads but laying out a pretty strict rental requirements (3x rent in salary, 650+ FICO, etc)The shame is that I probably could have cash flowed more and helped 3 decent tenants find 3 decent place to live, but now I am only helping 2 great tenants rent 2 great houses. 

As you can see I am a Pro member here on Bigger Pockets and I am very serious about laying down the groundwork for investing in properties here in the DFW area.

I've heard luxury vinyl tile is great, but I already have wood-look laminate in two living areas, one of which I just installed a couple years ago, so I'm trying to match what I already have, if I do a wood look. 

Example tile roofs should last 40 years.  

Lay out your plan and how it could align with their goal.

When you say "brick veneer" do you mean thin brick (like tile) glued on a substrate, or full thickness brick that is non-structural, but laid & mortared in front of the (cement block?)
