Construction material purchasing

[Lisa Winklepleck]

Looking for advice: Do any other property owners buy the construction materials for the contractor/handyman to save money?  Or is this not worth the hassle?

For me, usually no - but depends on the markup they are putting on there. If they are really caking it on maybe consider negotiating with them or finding someone who prices better. Also depends how active you want to be/time you want to spend. If you're looking to run several flips/jobs simultaneously then doing buying your own materials will be hard and you might be better off seeking out contractors who are interested in the long-term relationship vs. making a few extra bucks on some tile. 

Good luck!
