The material you provided could have been sold, but I am so grateful that you decided to share it in this public forum.

@Franklyn Douglas III I’ve never done Colorado tax sales but presuming they are like most areas they are not nearly as easy, profitable or risk free as the promoters would have you believe.You will learn a lot just by participating even if in a small way. 

As many as you can- even if you don’t know the material yet.

I will be leading the charge on building a scope of work, (if needed) reaching out to my extensive database of subcontractors for quotes/work, making selections/choosing materials, and the main one performing most of the hands-on labor, while teaching him (who has no experience) how to do these tasks.

This is interest subject material for me.

Use low maintenance materials as me tinned above.Have qualified installers who don't cut corners.Buy materials with long warranties as this usually signifies higher quality products.

Once I was ready to start my projects, I would sign up for a Business credit card(s) that offered the best miles/points and then I would purchase materials using said business credit card(s).   

This is open on every deal.  80/20, 70/30, Pref, Promote, etc. 

Therefore, it's vital to calculate these costs before purchasing the property.Seeking the help of a 🏗️construction professional is recommended to create a comprehensive budget that includes hard costs (materials, labor), soft costs (architectural and engineering fees), and contingencies for unexpected expenses.

I paid 1/2 of negotiated labor up front and have been purchasing/paying for materials myself.
