Best Resources for Cost Conscious Home Improvements

[Mike Ventura]

Happy Thursday BP, one day until the weekend! I am pleased to announce that I have an accepted offer on a 3 bed 1 bath home in North New Jersey. It is a true diamond in the rough and requires alot of labor and not alot of money. If all goes to plan I will be moved in on October 1st. My goal is to re list the property after a year or two after I have added some value.

I hope the title of my discussion hasn't misled you. I am seeking to find the best resources (places to shop) to keep my home improvements a cheap as possible. My goal is to find the best deals for itens suck as vanities, plumbing, appliances, tile, etc without sacrificing quality. I know "you get what you pay for" but I am confident there has to be some sort of hack out there!

Essentially my goal is to find out if I should be shopping at Home Depot/Lowes or looking elsewhere for good deals. I obviously dont qualify for volume discounts so I need as much intel as possible before I start making purchases.  

Look forward to getting some tips. Thanks!
