Taking Carpet Glue Off Mexican Tile?
Hi, I my husband is a general contractor who is now just doing flooring, general contracting is way to much a pain. Anyways he just got this job where the original owners put carpet over mexican tile, the new owners, its a restaurant, would like to take up the carpet and keep the mexican tile. Any ideas on how to get the carpet glue off of the tile? Anything will help, Thanks in advace STacey, by the way I love this site. I just ran across it by accident.
Some sort of commercial solvent and a lot of elbow grease?
Not sure, never had to do it. Hopefully someone will have a better idea.
Do a web search, this is pretty easy with the right product.
Use a heat gun and a scraper. No solvents.
Your putting the cart before the horse.................
I suggest you read and study as much as possible here at TCI while at the same time going out and find that property your looking for.
Right now you are wasting your time on what if scenarios that may never take place.

That is exactly what I have been doing but it would be nice to be able to close on a deal if I found one, and not to mention have the confidence to be able to market yourself to distressed owners that you can close if the property is a match..
Thanks NC
I guess to clarify a little, I am interested in hearing about creative ways to purchase and rehab homes with little out of pocket expense and not having to be in the best financial sitiuation..
Thanks!
A few things come to mind. First, you could take on a partner that has some cash and split profits. A refinement of this would be to do a lease option where the rehab is part or all of the option consideration. Keep the lease as cheap as you can negotiate. All you need is access to the house for rehab. Get a partner who can afford the rehab costs. Rehab the house and exercise your purchase option when you sell it. You should have your acquisition docs in escrow so that you can purchase with little or no cooperation from the seller. If the partner can qualify for a loan then a third possibility is to obtain long term financing after rehab and rent and hold for a time before reselling.
