  2. HI edzarenski,
    I have actually seen some real estate traders on Youtube teaching people to do this in order to save money. It is very dumb advice, because you have to be very careful about payments to your contractor. You will have to pay some money upfront to cover the cost of materials, but I actually try to work out deals where I am purchasing the materials myself. I dont trust contractors to buy the materials for me, because in the past I have had issues with contractors using leftovers from prior jobs, or purchasing cheaper materials then requested, thus scamming me out of money.
