Hello BP,I recently took out some plastic tiles from one of the rooms. 

I'm going to be putting tile in a duplex and I want to know what material will hold up the best.

You could make repairs at your risk, but you can't covey with a general warranty deed as the notice to redeem the property places a cloud on title.In some states, even after you take possession of collateral and sell the collateral, additional amounts over your costs may again go back to the borrower and they can sue you for it.A security agreement is not the keys to the house, it represents a way for you to get the amount of money you are entitled to and excess equity is due the owner (borrower).If the property after foreclosure sale sells for less than the bid amount, the lender may seek a deficiency judgment to collect amounts remaining due, if it was a cash loan, if the loan proceeds were made as an amount of equity based on a particular sale price, it is an installment sale and receiving the property back terminates the sale.

Looks way more custom with the wild tile.

Also bear in mind it's more expensive to replace glue down vinyl with tile, than carpet with tile.

I would budget $6k for a small house.What they will need to do is break up about 18" of the floor around the entire perimeter, install perforated pvc piping pitched to a corner that has a sump pit and box.  

Because you will now be rebuilding your credit with a secured credit card account and an "Installment" loan secured by the CD and best part is NO $425 payment.6.  

Can't install plugins on oncarrot Wordpress but everything is pretty much built in.

... also in floor mastic, ceiling tiles, wiring, caulk, window glaze, insulation, and a whole host of other things I'm likely forgetting.

Mark Paup ,Just from a contractor's perspective, I would get the full seller's disclosure, and make sure there are no asbestos materials (tile, loose fill insulation, wrapped pipes, etc) and make sure there is no lead paint.
