Hi Brandon,If the quote you are getting is "really expensive," then I would suggest you shop around.

I would shop around the area a bit more and see what other property managers are charging in your area. 

I understand they might need to hold over some money for final bills but our contract finishes end of September and we can't get June's rent out of them.Definitely in the dirt bag category. 

Close to lots of retail, walking distance to coffee shops, new breweries, also large big box stores (Home depot, pet smart, gym, etc) and close to I-76. 

They just close up shop and move on.. this was all to common practice with LA based marketing companies and off shore companies..

Although that is the only time (yet) I've installed this, while shopping around for them, I came to realize that there are different qualities in them. 

So while you're waiting I would put a package together for a Conventional Loan then shop that package at local banks and to friends and family for modest returns (maybe offer 8-10%).

After a water heater situation that he helped me fix we went out for wings (he paid) a month later we took a roadtrip, then he invited me to his wedding now our families vacation together about once every other year,  he and his wife are shopping for an upper end home and they are using me as their realtor, his sister is also looking at upper end homes and is also using me as her realtor...  

I still don't think underlayment matters much except maybe over concrete because of moisture and I'll put tile over plywood all day long unless it feels bouncy then chances are it will crack without more plywood.My thought is it says I can put it over plywood on the bag of modified thinset so if the floor is solid then why spend the extra time and money on cement board if I'm using 0.49/sqft tile anyway and doing it myself

Use a heavy duty vac that has disposable bags.
