Do most people just hit the local Lowes, Home Depot, Ikea for hardware, floors, etc?

Home Depot is too so the maintenance and "stopping by" to check on it shouldn't be a problem.I plan to use the remaining equity in the soon to be rental as my emergency fund by refinancing with a first and a home equity line of credit to be tapped if/when I need it.

Hi guys,

My name is Ryan. I'm really new to real estate. I would love any recommendations and guidance from you guys. I want to be rich too.

Thanks

Walking through Home Depot, Lowe's, and Menards I pretty much made sure I overshot everything on my estimates to be safe.

Alot of ppl over there are getting in with no money down, for real.Try the Garden State REIC.

I just saw a show last night on the Home and Garden Television channel where they were showing the process of buying a home, fixing and selling it for a profit.

I have tried tile paint in a shower that is sold at Home Depot.

Go down to Home Depot and pick up a few bundles of wooden stakes and some nails.

FYI, you can pick up a mold testing kit from Home Depot for about $20 and test it yourself.

then when you are ready to have them do the work you already know who charges what.Or if you just need to estimate materials because you are going to do the work yourself just make it a habit to look through circulars in the paper and stroll through your local hardware store (lowes, home depot, etc.) every once in a while.
