Building a materials list

[Carolyn Baek]

As a first time rehabber who is planning on flipping two properties in Jersey City and in Dumont, I would appreciate any advice/tips you may have when it comes to putting together a materials list and whether those in the surrounding area have any recommendations on companies that I should check out when it comes to purchasing flooring/granite for kitchen/tile, etc. The contractor I will be working with said I would be responsible for purchasing/gathering all of the materials on the back end. Thank you!

I recommend you get @J Scott books on Flipping Houses and Estimating Rehab Costs. He breaks down every part of a Rehab into 25 components.  Down to each task within each component.  He provides Tables outlining estimated costs for labor and materials.  You can develop your own from there.

Hope this helps.  :)
