I read in Brandon Turner's book that I can find out the cost of materials and double it to get a good estimate of the total cost of materials+labor together.

My agent sent over an addendum to extend the closing since I'm using a rehab loan and I also had added that all hazardous materials must be removed prior to closing.

The other catch is that when a deal does materialize, any marketing dollars we spent will be withheld from your finders fee.

Are there any Texas investors in the RGV (Harlingen, McAllen, Brownsville, Weslaco, Donna, Mercedes, San Benito) who are willing to share your favorite places to buy materials for rehabs at a great price?

you supply material?

And if you're living on the property, you'll be able to monitor what goes on.As far as the price you can get when you sell, well that's driven a lot by demand.

If you go on to yelp or google type in building material.

That being said, I buy all my rehab materials on an airline credit card; getting tons of free miles (and pay it off asap to avoid interest)

Does anyone think that Chicago's record tax hikes and the possibility of a tax exemption for property's under $250K will lead to a new round of gentrification largely driven by Millenialls wanting to live in the City but not wanting the costs of staying in neighborhoods that are already gentrified?

Do your materials come in good condition (no dings, scratches.. etc etc)?
