Who does he have to do framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, paint, tile, cabinets and counters, flooring, roof?  

A our most expensive items were AC units (I have yet to spend a single dollar on our tile roofs.) and they could be paid out of the current months rent.

If they do, they probably don't work with me for long, and I'd rather spend the time finding a good supplier/partner/contractor/investor/whatever.I have spent my entire life striving to be the best I could without noticing, mostly, whether the people around me were discriminating against me because I was female. 

I can help you ballpark your ground up builds or renovations, or ad hoc questions like "What does tile/flooring/painting cost in $/SF?". 

Gravel he had not paid for and owed them hundreds of thousands  we paid for the rock and made him give us supplier receipts for the rest of the project and paid suppliers direct. 

I buy LVP, tile, etc at home depot because you can negotiate with them on price. 

Hold on, I have 2021/2022 on the phone for you, they're asking if you are interested in a 100 unit 1960's Vintage Multi-Fam property called  "The UnderWater" at a 3.5% Cap rate....Wait, Blackrock just said "Hold my Beer" and offered all cash at a 3Cap, something about subway tile Backsplash should double NOI in 3 months.perhaps modify "It is never a bad time to invest in real estate." to "at a good price". :) jus playin' It is all based on an individuals ability to invest in real estate in a ethical manner.

So can the material suppliers . 

There are suppliers in China who can supply pre-cut SIPs and they say they can source other exterior and interior finishes (except electricals and plumbing) from other suppliers and ship it.

I want new vanity, tub/shower combo, tile flooring, new mirror etc.Ask for project list, cost, and scope on previous jobs.
