You don’t have to be aggressive about it but maintaining friendly contact can go a long way.

So, if you are shopping around, trust your numbers and don’t be aggressive on price, you may be only bidding against yourself.

I am the boots on the ground and provide all of the time and my partners supply the money.

@Clare Pitcher we do 12+ month leases to avoid vacancies Nov-Feb.If we take over an occupied property, evict or have tenancy-abandon a property, we first let the owner know finding a tenant will take longer than "normal".This opens up owners to understanding they may need to:1) Offer 3D tour and floor plans to stand out2) Price more aggressively or be prepared for aggressive price reductions3) Offer MoveIn Specials:- NOTE: we do NOT recommend offering a month of free rent that can be used at MoveIn.

The reason we supply a couple packs is to avoid the cheap knockoffs. 

The increase of the money supply in 2020 is quite simply the cause of the inflation we saw in 2021-2023.

Selling to the wrong buyer can become more expensive than carrying the home for slightly longer.I will buy my bath/kitchen fixtures at a plumbing supply house and not a big box store.

We will pursue the Section 8 route more aggressively if we still can’t fill the unit by February.

I'm reaching out to other plumbers to be safe, but are those supplies mine to use now for the next plumber?

I'm sure they also told you their systems will protect against aggressive attorneys and creditors and make you invisible so nobody will ever dare file a claim against you...it's all a money grab.If you are a sole proprietor I am putting my money on the fact a single member LLC in the state in which you live/own real estate will suffice.
