We use 12x12 ceramic (.57 cents sq/ft) for any slab houses and 1x6 T&G Pine for any pier and beam houses.

I would not expect ceramic tile, am I wrong?

So, I decided that I liked it enough to put some money in the deal as well.Some of the repairs we made:Ripped out nasty carpet and installed new laminateRipped out sheet vinyl and installed new ceramic tileNew toilets and hardware in bathroomsInstalled new privacy fence where neededPainted entire interiorReplaced all baseboardsCleaned up flower beds and put pine straw inCut  down tree in back yard that was damaging the old fenceHad house and all concrete soft washedAdded CO monitorsLots and lots of cleaning...  

Ceramic tile in the kitchens/bathrooms if possible (subfloor is level) as they are super durable.

Thanks Account Closed The kitchen has vinyl plank and ceramic tile in the bathroom.

It's not a lot of money to spend for such a small amount of space, but will be double or triple the price of your ceramic subway tile.

ceramic or porcelain tile is best in the bathroom due to the wet conditions it faces. 

From the ceramic tile factory, to the rubber mats for cars factory, to the tress factory to the chicken processing plant to any fast food place or store to the hospitals and care centers, they are all hiring!  

Another factor is the level of finish - each year we better the standard of finish based on the market demands (i.e. formica to granite, white to black appliances, VCT to ceramic, etc.).  

Whenever I use white cabinets, I go with a level 2 river white granite with a white glass or ceramic subway tile.
