For years I tried WalMart, Sherwin Williams, HD and Lowe's paint. 

If you are in need of a drop coffee maker, Walmart has the Gourmia 12 Cup Programmable Hot & Iced Coffee Maker with Keep Warm Feature for $15 bucks.https://www.walmart.com/ip/Gou...I do not own this but do have other Gourmia products and they have performed quite well and are still working.

That's for the house, its furnishings from an estate auction and everything else from Wal Mart. 

Servers/Bartenders, sports & entertainment venue workers, etc being most affected as opposed to an entry level hospital employee or someone who works at Walmart.

Even Fb ..point is look at everthing including those little card advertising in Wal-Marts and such.. look at your local bingo hall for those also .. attend a local Reia meetings and ask other investors .. talk with as many wholesalers as you can stand to .. leave no stone unturned ..then maybe if you .. lucky  ( there's that word again ) you can find what tour looking for or settle fir something close .. i dont want to be discouraging.. just the oppisite ..remember you asked ..lol.. i do wish you the very best ..let me know if i can help in any way .. of course besides doing all the work for you .. 

These are the folks who will receive a $4500 tax refund, then spend it within a week in the electronics section at WalMart. 

Lastly, more expensive is not always better, but I can assure you that less expensive is never better unless you're looking for the Walmart of property management and even that will come with it's own special set of headaches.  10% and first months lease up for quality management and long-term occupancy is absolutely achievable in Houston.  

A Wal Mart $10.00 door knob with a key is what I use. 

Houston is home to more than 20 Fortune 500 company headquarters and has the third largest number of Fortune 1000 companies in the world, such as Sysco, Walmart, Waste Management, Memorial Hermann Health System, Kinder Morgan, AT&T, ConocoPhillips, United Airlines.Houston ranks No. 2 in manufacturing GDP in the U.S. with a skilled workforce of more than 230,000 industrial workers in specialties such as fabricated metal, machinery and chemical manufacturing.

That's a Wal-mart-ization of rental property, where sheer volume allows smaller margins.
