My supplier is 35$ sf installed.

I got better deals and better service from a full service supplier. 

Too many deals that you can't buy ticks off your deal suppliers.

It has economies of scale for maintenance, rehabbing units, signing contracts with contractors and suppliers, and marketing. 

I have sourced my best contractors and suppliers by referral from my local REIA.

My contractor said the supplier (JSI) hasn't provided a date when they can deliver the cabinets.

We bought the property about five years ago, now the supplier claims that they own the tank, and we therefore owe them tank rent.

Python is my major supplier for stairs, doors and windows.

I was there as well, as a newbie – it was good to meet with people who I normally connect with over the phone or e-mail (mostly on the supplier side), I got confidence in what I am doing and on the road I took with these kind of investments, some speakers were good (mostly on the first day), some less, the important thing was the mingling I guess.

They are also in a unique position to introduce you to property managers, contractors, suppliers, you name it.Like I said I’ve been doing this a long time now and I still do not make a major decision without a phone call or email to all three.
