Don't go to a discount broker though.

He examined the second-floor bathroom, where silver faucets were offset by walls painted in a “toasted almond” color, a pairing seen in many Starwood Waypoint homes because the firm purchases those items in bulk.

Good way to get in the game and pick up discounted properties( SFR, and duplex) which owner occupied gets to bid on first.

I'm looking to renovate bathroom, kitchen, flooring, and new paint.

I don't know much about them.The home is in relatively good shape but there is some definite deferred maintenance needed like a kitchen/bathroom remodel, removing the wall paper from 1978, floors/carpets, swimming pool refurbishing, etc.

@Michael Lane I never thought to get a discount for the classes.

I want to do limited forced appreciation(fixer upper) i.e. floors, kitchen, bathroom, paint.

They might own multiple properties or receive a special discount having all insurance at the provider and your insurance rate is much higher for a single policy.Make sure not in a flood plain as those policies have gone way up in the last few years almost doubling or tripling.Many other things these are often overlooked.   

The units are all 1b/1b and with all new flooring, tile bathroom, new vanities, new kitchens and appliances.

While this means we would get renovations done at a discounted, possible wholesale rate, I'd still be paying their company to do the renovation.
