Lay out a potential strategy, execute and see how you feel/review the data after a few months.

Fixed floors like tile cannot be and have to be depreciated unless they fall under one of the exceptions such as de minimis.

Right now rentals are performing well in Carnegie, Bethel Park, Allison Park, Mckeesport, Murrysville and Apollo.Wherever you are considering investing, I would strongly suggest visiting the area in person first to get a lay of the land.

Leaking toilets not installed properly, gaping hole in roof, holes left in siding, tile laid incorrectly which will need to be replaced, not installing the back splash properly.

But hey, who knows give it a try. to clarify my question, i am the buyer, solar panels are on the property, and back payment is due, but the company refuses to accept the arrears rather than demanding full payment of 35k, title transfer requires to clear the lien, seller won't do that as there is no equity in the house for them so property will end in foreclosure, if i bond the lien and free the property, then I can buy the asset, transfer the tile, i can negotiate or fight with solar company as time will be on my side then. my question was the surety bond that i am using to bond off the lien can be freed if i could transfer the lien back to use after title transfer to free my cash, hopefully less fraudulent now after the details.  

Is it tile around the bathroom or bathtub (i.e. a tub surround)?

New AC, Insulation vacuumed out and replaced. remodeled the bathrooms, new tiled shower surrounds and fixtures, .

Another way to think about it is: "which cost is greater, $15k or a lawsuit laying claim to my assets?"

I don't know if you want the smack down I would lay on you streamed.

If the plan is to make all the flooring the same go with a tile that isn’t just a computer generated pattern over and over.
