Excellent idea for those who may be just getting their feet wet with low budgets.

Thank you for your response and sorry for all the questions as I am just trying to get my feet wet.

I'd bet a chicken dinner that the use instructions start out with "remove gross contamination".. step two will be something along the lines of "thoroughly wet the area to be treated & keep wet for xx period of time"..

The cement floors would literally get very damp to physically wet not from cracks but from the constant infiltration due to the hydrostatic pressure building up under the cement flooring & against the walls.I redesigned the sump pump system to discharge 30 feet downward from the natural slope of the lot & the perimeter of the basement walls.The basement is now so dry we no longer need the dehumidifier on nor does the floor exhibit any residual dampness.When I built my sons home we completely surrounded the perimeter of the home with a drainage system that directs the roof runoff & sump discharge 100 feet away to a French drain.

There are bowing basement walls and a wet basement. 

If the surface is wet or if humidity is high, polished tiles can definitely be slippery though.

Based on what I've read so far it seems like wholesaling may be a great way to get my feet wet and expand from there, but what do I know?

It costs a little more than BRRRR or investing in depressed areas like Baltimore, but its a great way to reduce risk and get your feet wet on your first deal.

The cleaners  can write on them with wet erase markers then wipe them clean after each use.No issues with things being missed after switching to this method.

Just just assume here that no appreciation or depreciation for simplicity.I guess a better question, for those that have been at this a while, and I would especially like to hear from Hawaii-based investors, would you go the put down 20% and finance the rest, and try to get several properties for the purposes of getting feet wet quicker, or meticulously plan 1 or 2 deal, paying 50-100% cash upfront?
