He does manage sub contractors for certain installations such as tile and cabinets etc.

During this time I installed brand new laminate flooring in the living room and kitchen, painted the kitchen cabinets, and installed brand new tile-look flooring in the bathroom, repainted a bedroom, installed new baseboards, and a number of miscellaneous items (pictures below).

The reality was that as I began taking action I realized a few things:1) BRRRR has some risks associated to it that can be easily overlooked by new investors (calculating ARV, managing rehabs, etc.)2) Hard money is freakin expensive (not the low money down I needed)3) Lack of experience makes it very difficult for HML's, Contractors, and Property suppliers (wholesalers) to take you seriously. 

I just bought my first flip, well first in the Phoenix area, and am looking for recommendations for carpentry, tiling, flooring, electrical and landscaping.

All flooring - tiles, wood, Vinyl I buy from floor and deckCabinets, quartz and granite countertops from a local vendor, who can design for me once I provide him the dimensions over the phone.All my paint comes from Sherwin Williams, having a contractor account you get a good discount but still little expensive than Behr from HD.Over a period of time, you will figure it out what makes sense - sometimes you pay a dollar more outside for the quality and building relationships for the future purchases. 

Call a tile company directly.
