East Nash Flip, looking for discount material vendors

[Leland S.]

Under contract for a SFR in East Nashville for fix and flip... I plan to hire a smaller contractor to handle the job and purchase the materials for them, also probably sub out items they are not good at like landscaping and concrete repair. I'm still in search of someone there.

Anybody have some good locations to pick up: granite, tile, discount vanities, fixtures, doors, windows, flooring, appliances?

Depending on how much tile/flooring you need, I would check out Lowes and HD for their discontinued stock or whatever they have on sale. The other day they had tile on sale for 0.89/ft that was previously 2.89/ft. They only had 350sf of it though. That might be one angle to check out. I've found that for tile, the big box retailers Lowes and HD have a smaller selection from what's on display but are much cheaper than the specialty stores for a similar quality of flooring. 

Appliances: I've always found the best deals at Electronic Express in Cool Springs. Talk to my man Hamid. He has taken one day off in about 5 years, so he is always there. I always walk in and just ask him for his best deal on whatever he has at the moment. He has a large list of builders that buy from him because they offer very good prices. Delivery is always free and their turn around time is extremely fast. 

Vanities: If you want basic vanities, don't look anywhere other than Lowes and HD. They have vanities that look really nice and are cheap! If you want anything better, get ready to pay. Same thing with doors. 

Windows: Central woodwork. They have always offered the best prices and more importantly they are really good at install. I would avoid the big box retailers for windows. 

Concrete repair: Talk to my boy @Ryan Stahr his dad is the go to concrete guy in Nashville. 

Landscaping, I can give you my brother in laws number. He has his own landscaping business and does a great job.
