Feel free to check out this spreadsheet for common materials as well. Just go room by room and enter what you need, the instructions are on the page. Some of the prices may be outdated but you can easily change them after downloading.

Unfortunately, per Josh, Vegas is out of the question (no idea why) so no worries on the craps budget! :)

Guess that means I'll just have to plan a separate trip for Vegas. It might be better that way anyway. Every time I've gone to Vegas for a conference I ended up doing lots of things besides attending the conference! I didn't get to go to Vegas last year so I'm getting the itch.

So do I, Will. Vegas would be nice. I may need to get these houses sold to fund the poker and craps budget though. :-)

I began 2012 with a rehab project (my first) that had been dragging on for quite some time for different reasons. Then I attended the BP Summit and that's when things changed. I met some great people there, and learned from some of the best in the business. In particular, J Scott, Marty Boardman, Will Barnard, Aaron Mazzrillo, and Rich Weese not only shared so much invaluable information in their presentations, but graciously made themselves available away from the conference rooms to people like me. All of these guys plus Ed O and Steven V really inspired me and motivated me to get things going.
I returned home, finished the rehab and sold it for a modest profit. Later in the year I purchased my second and third rehab projects, which should both be finished and listed for sale this weekend.

In 2013 I hope to add some more rentals to my portfolio, and continue to do more rehabs. I'm going to have to learn new techniques to fill my pipeline, which will be a challenge since I'm still working full time.

May I give you a call when I'm ready to begin? Then, I can find out exactly what you're looking for? :D Thanks again! Looking forward to a prosperous future in real estate investing!!

Of course, let me know if I can be of any help.

Welcome, Nichole! You'll find just about all the info you need here on this site, and it's invaluable. Also, plan on attending the 2013 BP REI Summit once the details are worked out and released.
I'm right next door to you in Kennesaw/West Cobb and have looked at some properties over in Dallas, but haven't bought anything there yet.
Best wishes,
Andy
