Rehab wasn't too strenuous and i did myself with the help of my family - Re landscape garden, painted inside, re grouted bathroom tiling etc to freshen up.

Kitchen tile counter and bathroom tile: dirty and moldy.

Instead of ceramic tile on the shower walls, I had left over cement board siding from a previous job..

Determine that you'll conclude your analysis by (some date), giving yourself time to get any estimates you need from contractors or suppliers for the rehab.

If you're having issues with your GC or suppliers make sure you let the lender know.Also, there are some cases in which you might be having issues with the lender giving you draws for your mortgage, in which case I would advise to find a new lender so that you can move forward with the project more smoothly.Feel free to reach out if you have more questions. 

But, what they also sell is discontinued and misordered Lowes and Home Depot Merch.I have purchased over $200,000 of building materials from FTA.The number one item they have (and only periodically) is bath and shower tile.

However, you can expect to recover about 50-55% of your investment when selling the home.Another good option would be to consider converting attic space, finishing a basement, or repurposing a large living area to add a bedroom without expanding the home's footprint.Some other tips to help you save on materials while still creating an appealing finished product: buy in bulk, shop at discount stores and outlets, look for overstock, discontinued items, or slightly imperfect materials, attend auctions and Estate sales, incorporate reclaimed wood, vintage fixtures, or other salvaged items for a unique look at a lower cost, build relationships with suppliers...If you have any more questions or are looking for funding please feel free to reach out to us, we're a private lender.Regards,Jackson
