@Steve S. Thanks for your tips.

@Frank Gucciardo I agree that I need a solid contractor with all the right tools. I am just trying to compile a useful list for someone who might be interested in doing some DIYs. Thank you for pointing that out. 

@Matthew Olszak I agree with having lien waivers ready to go. I don't intend to buy myself another full time job as a contractor or laborer. Thank you.

@Ola Dantis No. I am not considering becoming a contractor. Thank you for the tip on getting a really good laptop. It will make onsite project management easier. Thank you.

@Gareth Fisher Thanks for pointing out how important it is to be knowledgeable of the code. 

@Peter B. Thank you.

@Brian Pulaski Thank you for your list.

@Sid Leibowitz Thank you for your insight on the importance of knowledge and experience with the tools and leaving certain tasks for professionals. Thank you.

@Matthew Paul Thanks for the tip on the dump trailer. 

@Jay Hinrichs Thanks for the tip on the shoe covers.

@Frank Adams Thank you. An electric circuit tester is very important. Safety first! 

@Chris Svendsen Thank you. 

@Will Barnard You are right. Shovels and Wheelbarrow are often overlooked. Thank you.

@Thomas S. Thank you for the tips on renting or buying cheap tools for one-off jobs.

@Deren @Karen Thank you for this list of items. 

Hello BP,

I'm doing a personal research here. I am trying to compile a list of must-have home renovation or improvement tools and equipment for flippers. By tools, I mean physical tools, not software.

What would you consider must-have tools and equipment for flippers? If you have to do some of the tasks yourself, what will you consider your must-have tools? What tools or equipment do you find yourself often using during your flips? Are there equipment or tools that you rent?

Looking forward to your responses.

Thank you very much.

@Charlie MacPherson Thank you for your response. How would one verify if a public sewer is available for a town? Will this information be obvious from the town website? Just wondering...

@Chris Seveney Thank you.

@Matthew Paul  Any reason why you prefer septic tanks? 

Does it mean that septic tanks are cheaper in the long run?

I noticed that homes with private sewerage tend to be cheaper than those connected to the city.  

On the average, how much does it cost to convert a private sewerage to the city sewer system in the Greater Boston market?  

Does it make economic sense to buy a house with private sewerage with the expectation that it will command a high value if changed to the city sewerage? 

Congrats @Shaeida M.

Congratulations! Looking forward to the 1 million member milestone.
