I was all in until that point, but I’d imagine that the info you get from the paid materials is probably pretty good. 

I paid for all materials.

Experienced investors order and pay for materials themselves cut the check for labor to get started.

Clayton homes who we purchased from used nice LOOKING, but CHEAP materials in this trailer.

Just know if you are using a speciality paint store, not Lowes or HD, talk with them about the contractor quality paints and check out the deals on their property management grade of material(especially if you are on a tight budget or expect to repaint frequently). 

So, in our situation we decided to live a life of love and happiness and kinda ignore the material things. 

@Jarib Rivas I would also expect rehab materials prices to rise some because a lot of that stuff is imported from China.

Also,What is the material and labor cost of installing steel cages?

We got set up with the Pro desk at Lowe's so we got the discounts on appliances and other materials.
