Due to inflation and the drastic increases in material, labor, and supplies, that's naturally caused carriers to rethink limits/values on file. 

I think the unsuccessful and struggling units who have not jumped ship yet will continue to do so, leading to less supply, increasing demand, and a better year for the successful units. 

.- The 203(k) will allow you to bid on properties that need repairs that won't qualify for a traditional mortgage => less competition => better purchase price.You will need to find a great local contractor you can trust to supply the required bids to qualify for the 203(k).- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

You mention Amazon, look at how they play suppliers off each other and even create their own supply chain.  

The supply and demand are pretty balanced.Most of our growth over the past 5 years is from in-migration from more expensive states.

Customer supplies materials ?  

At the same time, I like the idea of a beautiful programmable t-stat.The heat is supplied by a brand new furnace.

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

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.

Other low-cost amenities that can boost ROI include a coffee and tea station with basic supplies, a welcome basket with snacks and water, or small outdoor games like cornhole.
