I have helped build 7 houses so far with Habitat for Humanity for what that counts.I would be getting the GC license to demonstrate my knowledge of construction processes, building codes and general knowledge of the construction industry, definently not to give investor's the impression I have years of experience in construction.

I was able to pick up a very clean 21 ft fridge at the Habitat store for $180.

I am willing to sit on it for a couple of years, or depending on how the house goes I may just donate it to habitat for humaniy as I do alot with them.2.

Depending on the quality of materials needed, check out Habitat For Humanity Re-Stores.

Heck, that's too small to even make a good beer fridge.If there are habitat for humanity stores or similar in your area, look there.

Be careful, the last one I bought was a vacant lot that was not buildable in Greene Co....I got it for fill dirt for Habitat for Humanity!

Most of them, I didn't volunteer for Habitat for Humanity this year.

Don't know if you have them there, but the Habitat for Humanity "restores" are a good place to find both the door and the dishwasher.

The states may make other exceptions, so that is where investors need to focus their attention in getting favorable regs.As it stands now, non-profits, like Habitat For Humanity, will need to have a fully amortized loan, even though they do not charge interest (for religious reasons) to buyers.

One useful resource I've come across is surprisingly Habitat for Humanity's ReStor program, which takes surplus developer's/homeowner's lightly used appliances, and building materials and sells them for deep discounts.
