I knew what an oak was LOL.. but the concepts were straight forward and in 2 short years we were the largest NON land owner log supplier in the Willamette valley.. moving millions of board feet of timber annually. great story on the student rentals.. that's kind of how it went for me on the HML company.I asked my banker one day I said I am tired of buying court house steps I want to use these same lines of credit to make loans how do I do that.. he laid it all out for me.. that grew to over 30 million.. but then 08 hit and well you know the rest of the story.. was not pretty.. and a very serious piece of humble pie.

My understanding is you should be OK, same could happen if previous seller orders $10000 of exotic wood flooring from a local supplier and have it delivered, then not pay, the supplier files a lien, you have title insurance.Wouldn't hurt to have something written up by the seller so he assumes the liability of this if any, and/or obtain a hold harmless from the tenant.However the liability of that one incident does not go away.

If your GC is not a professional or sloppy on paperwork, this could be a challenge.In addition to 2nd tier subcontractors, don't forget about major material suppliers as well.  

Keep dedicating yourself to your trade, maybe one day you can make your suppliers referrals list.

If the numbers work to stay with one supplier, and the gamble on maybe saving a few bucks isn't worth the effort then by all means do what works best. 

I’m in the process of purchasing a storage unit facility and need to find a spring supplier.
