Converting my basement...
Good afternoon everyone. I am new to RE Investing and thought instead of buying a rental, it would be more cost effective to house hack my basement. I have had several quotes for renovations and ready to pull the trigger as soon as the electrician comes to evaluate my home's electrical system. I am looking for tips and places to obtain bathroom and furniture fixtures because there's no bathroom in the basement now, just another bedroom with a closet and open storage space. Any tips on where to buy laminate flooring, quality bathroom fixtures and cabinets for the kitchenette on the cheap? Your key assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi @Natsona Cole - home depot would be a good start.
