Are all the materials you are buying through Menards or Home Depot or are they specialty stores?

I would be covering more / all of the down payment, while he would be buying materials and covering labor costs. 

Another thought is I can probably find a local Contractor to GC the job and pay a "fee" to allow me to do some of the work myself but he'll include the materials in his draw requests.Any comments are appreciated. 

I knew each night I needed to spend at LEAST 1 hour on the phone talking to homeowners.This meant: STOP over-checking e-mail, STOP reading online, STOP “gathering materials I would need before I could make the calls”, and NOT put down the phone until I had made my calls.My motto at that time which I said to myself over and over again was, “Nick, SHUT UP and DO IT.”

I'll second Sean Terry, its free and good material if you are focused on non MLS wholesaling.Lookup Flip 2 Freedom.

I had a friend who used to put chips on the appliances so if the home was vandalized he would find out where they took his appliances.I believe appliances, paint buckets, left over material should never being in my homes while is for KEYANY showing.

Of course they are very cheap I believe I did those cabinets material only for around $1,100.3.

It all depends on the material that was installed on the roof. 

I had to rent a storage unit for my tools and materials to do repairs, and I had to pay someone to use their shop to actually work on things (for my business: repairs, maintainance things. etc...)

Approval took a while: first - the Plans Examiner sent them back, requiring that we specify fire rating of materials because they want to ensure a fire in one unit will still allow the occupant of the second unit enough time to escape the property.
