This is a tough sellers market right now.

With that said, beyond people stumbling upon your VRBO/Airbnb listing, driving traffic to your page is tough and something I will be working to improve. 

If your losses are not material and eventual tax saving wouldn’t be affected much even if states disallowed your losses, then don’t file.

Hey BiggerPockets Fam, I picked a tough time to get into real estate. 

We are 2 hrs away, so overseeing a remodel is tough.

Would like to see from experienced rehabbers whether you buy materials yourself versus having the contractor supply them...If your buying,  is it worth the extra effort to control the cost and get exactly what you are envisioning.. 

If that question is tough to answer, spending more time learning about the industry as a beginner probably makes the most sense.

First, contractors are hard to find and the cost of materials has jumped dramatically, making it awfully expensive to renovate a home.

That being said, you might want to consider living in it for 2 years to qualify for hte sec121 exclusion, as limited as that timeframe might be.That all being said, its really tough to give you answer. 

I am gathering the final list of materials for a renovation for a rental property in East Point, Ga.
