Building materials: where to find bulk pricing

[Sam Hickey]

I want to start buying some materials in bulk. Anyone know where to get better deals than big box stores on

Flooring, windows, siding, hardware and fixtures, etc.??

I’m considering buying flooring by the shipping container full. I would also be interested in splitting huge purchases with someone reasonably local.

Any interest? And ideas? I have 10 houses that need renovated now and material costs are hurting.
