They're not giving you 20% discount and selling the one next door at full price. 

So, again, called in a favor from a friend to grab a couple cabinet doors from the store 2 hours away, while he was up on business trip anyways, so we could get them on site before installer was "done" and onto another job.Ultimately, as Alan notes, you just have to accept this, and figure it out on the fly.  

@Chris Clothier yes we are seeing residents be less mobile recently as well (we manage 1000 doors in OKC Metro) as long as the owners keep the increase under 10% they tend to stay and renew.  

I know for a lot of investors it is common to want to hold onto a door for a couple of years then 1031 to a more expensive property to grow their portfolio.Me being someone that has a lot of available cash but currently 0 properties.

I've seen these situations spiral out of control and lead to occupants neglecting/damaging the property, such as making holes in the wall to look for hidden cameras, nailing doors and windows shut, etc.

We also own a single-family home with a detached garage and a separate lot that is currently secured with the mortgage of the single-family home (we've owned this for 10 months).

Also I have a garage area that faces the comon area.

The mom and pop previous owners had been renting for ~$700/door.

For example, they get "x" amount of $ for every door knob they switch, "x" amount to change a light fixture, to lay LVP flooring (per sq ft), to hang a door, etc.

Offer free breakfast at my friend’s restaurant next door before the guests begin the downtown walking/shopping.
