Just use a coating of RedGuard under the finished flooring to get a water resistant subfloor.

Examples include if, say, you have some internal resistance to investing in real estate or a preference for another asset class.

Currently have:-1 SFH-LP on 16-unit multifamilyCurrent age: 30Started at 28 by converting primary resistance to a rental when I moved out.

Laminate is rigid and often has wax on the tongues which is supposed to help with water resistance...but it has to help with sliding & tapping laminate under doorjambs, too.  

But at 3-4X the costs of a regular roof, and no guarantee that they will survive the next hail storm (the five year old impact resistant roof I replaced did not) I can't do it. 

It may be hard for me to resist paying cash for super cheap rundown places.

The real point here is that this thread is simply a platform for Ken to flame or troll.

For example, I syndicate mobile home parks as a retirement vehicle to focus on recession resistant cash flow. 

Something that makes the market recession-resistant, like a state capital, major hospitals, and major universities (though we need to see whether this last one will continue to be an anchor going forward).4.  

The percale weave sleeps nice and crisp and they resist pilling much better than sateen weaves.
