My first flip, who should buy materials?
Hi, just went in escrow for my first flip.
I’ll work with small teams by area as opposed to one GC. Should I ask the contractor quotes for floors, paint, landscape to include materials? Some are saying I should get it. I don’t have a truck so for some stuff not an option.
Also if the receipts are in their name will I be able to deduct them as an expense? thank you.

there is nothing right or wrong here, it depends on business model.
For me my contractor is like a family so I trust him completely, I just reimbursed what he bought for material immediately after he purchased at HD,etc.
