I have 2600 sq ft of extra engineered hardwood that I can sell for $1.10/sf. Also, have 216 sq ft of 18" square tan color tile for $0.90/sf. If interested please PM me and I'll send you pictures.

Thanks all for your input! Very much appreciated and will heed your advice.

@Derek Hughes I have not been to that one yet, but have been to the one in Canton a few times. The next one is in January, so I might go to the one at Cherokee Cattle Company next. 

To all investors and realtors with experience in rehabbing and flipping in Cobb County, Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, Metro Atlanta area, and surroundings, when it comes to rehabbing a house, when is it a good move to paint the exterior of a ranch style SFH? Do you get your money back and then some when you paint the exterior with a trendy white, cream, or grey color, vs leaving the brick as-is (assuming the brick is already in good condition)?

Thanks for all your input!

You still need some money to pay for the attorney's fees, appraisals, inspections, insurance, and other closing costs. Not much, but you do need some. 

The best way to start without money is wholesaling. You're gonna have to hustle more than other investors too.
