Off white for everything is just fine.What is your liability issue if you provide materials?

It will help me to do some "Do it myself" numbers on material I can get at Home Depot to get rid of the rest of the cockroaches.

That means a product is taxed 5-6 times or more from raw materials to market.

If all the systems and mechanicals are old the repairs will eat up any expected returns for years if things go perfect with your tenants.The key question is if the previous owner did a lot of deferred maintenance and kept hoarding cash instead.The HOA doesn't mean anything.They can go defunct or increase the dues or add special assessments.I like to keep control of my investments so do not like deals like this where you are betting on an external party to maintain your property.

$150 for labor and materials is a good deal where I am.

Taking a course in notes for example could be done and breezed over, but I don't feel there would be a real value in a 101 class, (just dangerous) to get to the 400 or 500 level so that students would actually walk out knowing something of value there is a massive amount of materials needed to be introduced.

The project budget ended up being 30% Sub Costs, 31% Materials, and 39% Labor.

I was curious, as to where you guys buy your materials?

The general rule of thumb on things like this, regardless of contract language is;Is it "material"?

Although you might check out the Ipe it is the same thing as teak.You can also look around for building material auctions.
