If so, who is the supplier?

In particular, I work with a great kitchen supplier who orders direct and usually donates or cheaply sells extra supplies that are rejected or slightly damaged. 

And do you buy it from a local supplier or do you buy someplace we could all go?

I am sure you will get plenty of feedback from the contractors around here and other investors that have good contractors that they work with.I have been working with contractors for over 12 years as a Designer, Estimator, and a Supplier of all things interior and a few things exterior. 

Also I'd hire a local you trust as a go between for your subcontractors and suppliers.

The lender will also want to know what type of suppliers you are working with and if you are making sound decisions about what needs to be purchased and how.This list is certainly not exhaustive and much more information may very well be required in order to secure the SBA-backed loan.

Hi Everyone,I'm an investor from the Chicago market and have had great success finding quality suppliers and installers for nearly everything other than countertops.

Electrical - Ask the current owner for 12 months from their supplier.

Also, a clause stating that a list of all subcontractors and suppliers will be provided to you.

@karen o, never assume, I just did a renovation in Florida, I thought I'd never find the tiles, sure enough a few days of searching found them at a local supplier.
