To be honest, prices for material and services change constantly and any book will be outdated as soon as it hits the streets.

Its not the material its the labor and insurance. 

Total renovation including all materials (except appliance) was $57,000.

Use only quality 3m or equilivent film material.

Materials ran a little higher than planned. 

I have been watching some Youtube videos, but I wanted to see if anybody here has any tips, good tutorials they've found online, a list of materials to buy, etc?

Go to your local reia club and ask active investors there (sort through the wannabies first).Home Depot offers an onsite walk through punch list service that will help you create a material list. 

In addition current opinions as of the date appearing in this material only and are subject to change without notice.

Thanks Gordon,We now do very thorough back round checks along with only paying for materials when we start.I'm sure there will be more issues with contractors down the road and its just something that I've considered as the cost of doing business.Thanks and have a great day.ps.

When you know or can estimate the material cost of things, then you at least have a shot of ballparking what the renovation will cost when hiring it out.
