Hi Maria,When flipping properties, cutting costs on materials can significantly boost your profit margins, however, you always want to maintain a minimum quality so my first advise on how to spend less is to plan the rehab in a way that optimizes the value return you're getting.

I would make sure that you build a high-quality team before you start any project. 

I own a small (72 unit) multi family in OKC and have seen vacancies go up and we have had to start increasing specials and extra items to attract quality residents to fill unit. 

Maybe my expectations are too high due to the quality of my property manager.Do you agree that a PM should be proactively pointing out future maintenance issues, or am I expecting too much as well?

I have met with some of the CCIM folks locally and they all seem like quality folks.  

Hi, looking for a HIGH QUALITY handyman or contractor for miscellaneous tasks around a residential property in Littleton, CO.

And what matters even more is the quality of the work and the service.

Also you might check out the school district ratings to help you get an idea of the quality of the area. 

Also, in terms of flooring for the storefront what material would be best in terms of money and quality? 

and, have good, to very good, vetted property teams in different metros, and detailed quality standards.
