The uniform grey looks pretty good when installed correctly and it is a very tough material.

We charge our owners $50/hr and the toilet install would look like this:1hr to drive to and from HD, 1 hour to remove the toilet, 1 hr to install the toilet, $100 - $150 for materials = $250 - $300.

So I am looking for information on what to use as the base/patio material. 

The plan: I am identifying on/off market properties that are targets, will do all of the real estate work (listing, showing, advertising, vetting, etc) and will split the cost of the purchase of the home and the material costs for any needed repairs.The contractor will be subbing out portions of the job and be on site mostly full time until the project is completed. 

There is no specification of materials or direction of the borrower.I can certainly see why you would assume that taking percentage of profit implies particiopation in management of the project, but I personally don't agree that taking a percentage of profit in lieu of interest constitutes influence in the project, nor have I ever seen it happen.

My primary focus is on fix and flip transactions, but I’m also open to buy and hold strategies as an alternative exit plan.From what I understand, an LLC can limit the liability of its shareholder (me) only if it is established in the same country where the property is located.

I'm located in Dallas so the labor cost and materials may be different but you can get an idea at least.

Have you ever ordered bulk materials from there?

Even though WE are NOT originating a loan here; it would be the EX-Husband who would be "originating" the Loan (by taking back the Deed of Trust and Note) in order to SELL his 50% interest in the house, the TIE IN is with our BUYING or INVESTING in the purchase of the DOT and Note to generate CASH to him, and CASH OUT to Her is wherethis becomes a "Gray Area" of whether it violates any of the CFPB Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus requirements and could be re-characterized as a high cost LOAN IN DISGUISE ALTERNATIVE THINKING We are thinking a better way to go here IF the EX-Wife agrees; it to SELL the house NOW, pay off the EX- Husband and enter into a 3 year LEASEBACK with the buyer of the home. 

Additionally, we are open to exploring other options beyond selling, so any advice or alternative strategies from those with experience in similar properties would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any guidance or connections you can provide.Best regards,Matt Ginsberg
