Spend time educating yourself on all the material provided by this site.

We have a ton of free materials there.

Since I've started to seriously look into REI, I've watched literally hundreds of youtube videos and am devouring all the reading material I can get my hands on.

My wife and I are a fix and flip duo- feel free to ask me any questions you may have about where to get materials or anything locally, as well as appliances which I wholesale. 

Tenants have $1800 security deposits but they usually get most of it back  Are they damaging your property to the point they should be paying or are you using materials that aren’t meant to be used?

Working with existing materials, conditions and other legacy elements can definitely be more work than getting a bulldozer to clear the site.

-Mass/Density of materials used is very important and sealing penetrations is as well-absolutely 5/8 drywall- if possible 2 layers with "green glue" or "quiet glue" sandwiched in between. you can buy quiet rock not sure of its fire rating so maybe only to be used in conjunction WITH fire rated drywall -drywall should be cut TIGHT to floor adj walls and ceilings. sound caulking should be used at all edges and seams and penetrations.

Hi everyone,First I really thank you all in advance and appreciate your time and sharing experiences and ideas that I know that came from hard work and time that worth more then money it self, much appreciated.As invistor and doing house fliping as a main job I really want to know what are my rights with general contractors.1- can I ask them to give me receipts on materials they buy ?

We went way over budget in hard money interest, labor and materials costs due being shut down for a month after the contractor did not pull the permits that he said were pulled.

A builder has carrying cost for land, material payments and labor expense - on top of that the building is not usable during construction.
