Middle America would probably crumble as these states tend to be the biggest supplier of servicemembers, and it’s often generational.Homelessness would skyrocket if we truly “drained the swamp” and eliminated the jobs that really don’t need to exist.My crazy high taxes likely help pay for some servicemembers to retire on a yearly basis, but on that money you can’t comfortably live in a HCOL. 

I know Realtors, property managers, wholesalers, architects, contractors, laborers, attorneys, designers, suppliers, lenders, cash buyers, etc.

I do have great suppliers and specialized sub contractors to recommend as well.

You probably already know this but it might be worth the time to set up an account with your local building materials supplier (Not lowes or HD) those folks always have their ear to the ground and can often recommenced better options. 

Hey @Storm SilvaIs the DD supplier willing to take on any contractual liability for their work?  

You need receipts if you are writing the checks to the suppliers, but not if you are “reimbursing” the contractor, you’ll 1099 him if required (dependent on his W-9).

Google Dallas Kidd and Under Pressure or PM me and I can give you his website.We have also heard good things about @Michael Belman with M&M Property Pros - he's here on BP somewhere.We have other construction suppliers that have installers. 

If by utility company you mean the local electricity supplier, can’t imagine any business with less chance of closing.

I've heard anecdotal evidence that other support businesses and B2B suppliers are looking to establish locations in southeast Wisconsin.

I'm going to be a bit of a contrarian to the above posters, but let me first qualify my post by stating that your market will determine what you should do.We frequently install en-suite laundry in our units - in fact, we have removed common coin-op laundry in most buildings of 6-units or less in favour of en-suite laundry - for the following reasons:electricity and, in most cases, hot water costs are transferred to the tenant;where water is sub-metered, water costs are transferred to the tenant;high-efficency residential laundry machines are about half the capital costs of commercial coin-operated machines;we can command $30 - $50/month in additional rent with en-suite laundry;by installing our own machines, we know they are installed property, with catch/drain pans and {going forward} leak detect shutoffs; andwith en-suite laundry vandalism of laundry machines has been non-existant ... and if a machine is damaged, we know who is responsible.We have a good rapport with a couple of local appliance suppliers and get called whenever they have "dinged and scratched" units to unload ... a small, cosmetic dent in the side of a washer - which will never be seen when it is installed in a laundry closet - can be worth a 40 - 50% discount.
