The oldest is 40 years old and it has never absorbed a drop of water.

@Lucas Carl, if you find a sweet deal need a partner, drop me a line. 

The Bank will be no help unless they drop their price by the amount of the lien (unlikely).

@Dion Johnson @Jerry Morello  just credit card set up company they usually charge about 3 to 5k for their services.. caution yoiu take out 60k in credit card debt and your fico will drop through the floor so manage all aspects of this.

A big point from the topics discussed are durability, for instance the tile will take a beating and should last a long time, given no one is dropping their bowling ball in the bathroom.

I also have WiFi thermostats so I can remotely change the temperature when no one is there to save on the electric bill.

I guess you could drop your rents if you passed those expenses on to the tenants, but that doesn't sound ideal from a landlord perspective. 

So $200 is a drop in the bucket and its a tax write off or get your company to pay for it.  

Give the deposit back and drop the ego is my advice. 

They did a price drop to $230,000 and no one was taking the bite.
