I’m currently renovating a rental property and exploring ways to manage costs without compromising on quality. I recently watched a video where Troy Kearns mentioned he could source a high-quality quartz slab for $100 from China, which got me thinking about exploring similar options.

Has anyone here ever imported materials like hardwood floors, countertops, or tiles from China for a project? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience!

Specifically:

How did you find a reliable supplier?
What was the quality like compared to local options?
Were there any challenges with shipping, customs, or delivery?
Any tips or advice for getting started?

Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!

What could possibly go wrong lol!

Maybe the Taishan drywall Lawsuit with toxic outgassing. Non UL electrical, plumbing &HVAC materials. Toxic paint et al.

Would you want your family living in house remodeled with cheap Chinese s**t?

Like I said in the post "without compromising on quality". I was talking more about hardwood floors, countertops, tiles and things like that. Troy Kearns said he could get a slab of quartz countertop for $100 and I wanted to see if anyone had experience with that before. At the end of the day a quartz countertop is a quartz countertop no matter where you get it from.

Who has time to do that, much less the time to wait for a container to come in etc? And you better do it before the anticipated tariffs kick in! Lol!

We are all about saving money on flips and renovation efforts. I bought a brand new in the box $285 microwave off Facebook marketplace today for $35. We will shop for used appliances where we can when we need one… or pick up used cabinets if we can, or search eBay for something smaller, but going to the extreme of personally shipping something big in internationally for one-off renovation needs seems like a stretch of reasonable.

Just like you mention, the number of unknowns would not seem to be worth it to me.

Just my 2 cents.

Got it - thanks for the insight. Troy Kearns just made it sound like it was an easy way to save money when you're rehabbing. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't out of the loop.

Hi Everyone,

I am relatively new to rental properties and currently own 3 single family properties as rentals. I’m trying to better understand the cost for a tax specialist. With just three properties, do you think it’s worth hiring a CPA or tax specialist who focuses on real estate? If so, what would be the cost?

Thank you,

Adam
