In this era where building materials are crazy costly there are places you can get high end things for less then the low end junk at Home Depot.

Building materials that are cost effective but good quality.

@Adam David GraningNobody yet pointed out this critical caveat: even if the property is placed in service by 12/31, you will likely need to pass "material participation" test in order to benefit from your losses.

This is a direct quote from PRnewswire: ‘The complaint filed alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the algorithm used by the Company to make offers for homes could not accurately adjust to changing house prices across different market conditions and economic cycles; (2) as a result, the Company was at an increased risk of sustaining significant and repeated losses due to residential real estate pricing fluctuations; (3) accordingly, Defendants overstated the purported benefits and competitive advantages of the algorithm; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.’

For me I pay all contractors , materials, inspections, I do the showings and placement of tenants once rented I then go and refi out and that depends reg 30 year fix is my preferred method of refinancing out. 

Does anyone have a good one pager, flyer, or other marketing material that they share with owners in a situation where you would like to rent their property to then sublet out short term?

Instead I  had the materials delivered for $800 and paid a guy $1500 labor to tear off and install.

This is true sometimes, but in some scenarios, brand new properties end up producing significantly MORE maintenance/repair headaches than older properties.The reasons are:1) Some building techniques/materials are far superior to those used in the past, but some are not, and some are unproven.

Our goal is under $10,000 for a rehab for a rental - but obviously a lot of that is driven by what level of property you are buying (what condition it’s in).  

Do any rehabbers have a mood board materials list type thing that they just use for all of their builds that way they can just buy quantity of x material whenever it is on sale.
