like Russell  said be upfront and sell as is and have them do their inspection thoroughly. If you invite city at this point, you are opening up walls and re doing some work probably.

I would buy it.

Things like cabinets vanities, you should talk to other investors, home depot and lowes has particle board cabinets over the counter and they are the lowest grade and their nice stuff is too expensive

But rest of the stuff you can use them unless you are doing volume business, it is kind of different if you are doing 1 or 2 houses versus 20 houses

Hi All,

In the middle of my first flip in the RVA area and I am finding myself at Lowe’s or Home Depot for a lot of items like doors, windows, kitchen cabinets, floors, appliances, etc. I know there have to be some better options from a price standpoint for some of these common items when flipping a house. Can anyone share certain vendors, people, or places they go to to source many of these common items outside of big box stores?

Thanks for your help in advance!

 To be honest, I have not bought any kitchen cabinets or flooring from any big box stores for like ten years.

over the counter cabinets are lowest quality ever, I would not even touch it, and I dont think any body who does multiple houses would do it either. If you buy their good cabinets price goes up 4 times higher.

If anybody want a better quality and decent price, send me a pm.

I would do one and see the turn out and if you get multiple offers, you can always go back to them to offer other one anyway.

cannot recommend a gc cause I dont work with them, mostly use subs but I can recommend investor priced places to buy materials like kitchen cabinets, flooring etc.... 

send me a pm

Hopefully it works.  I have not seen any positive reviews of cr of Maryland.  Just the 1 negative review that is on here where they are experiencing typical issues that will issues in lower class neighborhoods leading to loss of money by the investor.  I don't blame CR of Maryland.  In a certain asset class overtime you will lose which is what that showed with high vacancy and maintenance.  People acting like they can get good management in a lower asset class don't have a lot of property management experience and shouldn't be advising others on the subject and especially when they are not local.  It comes  down to billable rate for the pm which is why these investments fail.  Good luck if you follow through with this.

I talked somebody recently, he bought something from CR of Maryland, could not believe how much he paid for the house. I think one year rent guarantee attracts people and he was not able to rent the second year asking me what to do. 
I think we should start offering that :D)))
