Lumber is selling at higher prices.

@Alex Sherman@Jimmy O'Connor just helped me sell two of my properties I wanted to unload

Finally, Home depot, Lowes, Lumber liquidators... where do you shop for good savings and good quality products?

@Adam D Rinehart $85-$90/sqft is good price but now with COVID cost has gone up so much on lumber and many other materials.

Now IF we had all the people in the world going to trade schools which are currently at about 5-10% enrollment of pre-collapse numbers, and IF we had every developer dripping in billions to start all the developments needed to get to parity now, IF we had magic wands to waive to make the ridiculous mountains of red tape disappear so it didnt's take ridiculous months on months to get permits to break ground, you'd still have to answer for the fact that we can't get lumber, decking, fasteners or really just name the material because there is the biggest materials shortage in recorded history, only WWII compares in material shortages and there is 0 relief on the horizon because there is still various covid shut downs and restrictions.

@Michael Rodriguez 84 Lumber used to sell kits.

I have quite a few rentals and have big things delivered like gravel, soil, pavers, lumber, appliances or use a small utility trailer with my minivan. 

Maybe a connection with an investor looking to retire and unload some of his properties or hand over management and do owner financing.

If you can get that far in your vetting process, most likely you have a serious contractor that can do business with an investor well.Something to also consider is that there are significant delays in certain materials for rehabs right now (i.e. windows, lumber packages, etc.) ask these contractors where they anticipate certain manufacturing or shipping delays and what their plan is to keep your timeline on-track for completionBest of luck to you!!

Got a quote in May of this year on the lumber cost however just received the bill which is now about 30K more.
