Hi,I own a coffee shop in Toronto, Canada.

You can go to a tile shop and ask what they have on close out. 

Not too  bad ;)  I have been dealing EXCLUSIVELY in the cash business making $500-1,500 per deal, however owning a shop, adding financing, and adding a service bay would net me an extra $1,000 per deal PROFIT + service for customers. 

It used to be an old shop that sold plants, here are the details I have received.. -11,250 Sq ft lot-2130 Sq ft building-built in 1946-1 green house he made into a 2 story building the other green house has broken glass and hail damage.

I shopped around quite a bit (considering quality and cost) since I generally like to select a vendor and then use that material moving forward (for all projects).Home Depot stocks 4 colors of Lifeproof Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring, and they offer several other colors with 1 week lead time.

The main thing to realize is that this is a very rough estimate; based on your market (property taxes, utilities, etc), you can change from 50% up or down so that your estimate is closer to your actual expenses.Insurance is based on your own shopping around - I include all insurance as one lump sum in my calculations.So when you're talking about getting an accurate number for your more in-depth studies, you need to make sure you consider the "normal" incomes and expenses.

I have a feeling this is something you need to do daily, shopping for lenders and such, but going in knowing almost nothing is not my style and would leave me uncomfortable.

Instead of chasing phantoms, put that effort into shopping for decent properties for a good price.

I have nice tool bag that I carry around that has the essential tools that I need.

Roll them up, wrap them in heavy plastic (contractor grade trash bags work well) and store them in the basement.
