Cabinets depend on their condition and material but painting is usually a much cheaper option and when done right will look just as good.

Also, a HML will not give you funds to purchase materials to get the project started.

. :-)We purchased our 1st STR in Summit County, CO in 2012 and since then have bought a new STR property every 2 years since, with the exception of 2017 when we bought a home in the city in VA where our alma mater is located.

Those paper returns don't always materialize and the property can be a massive headache.

I've years of experience in construction (the building part), and I want to get a better idea of material costs to start planning the construction.

From listening to podcasts and reading some material I've decided that when I do have the funds and credit necessary, I will buy a property with a 203k loan, fix it up, and use the equity to help fund buying other properties. 

Another thing to consider besides material costs is permit fees depending on the scope of the work.

Look at home depot, lowes etc and find materials costs.  

Mostly seasonal wind energy/ oilfield workers, and seasonal school teachers have been previous renters.Sweat equity for bathroom to be completed by myself (10 year unIon carpenter in my former life in Southern CA) total materials $1091.84.The (3) appliances are $1645.

Go to Home Depot and check out the prices of the most common materials you would be using.
