Then the tenants supply their own window units for AC 

I have a shed in the backyard of my house now with all of my old rental supplies and I hardly go in there anymore.

We lived through one for my son's new build & it was all over the place for pricing/subs/supply availability & we even added a prayer for on-time, on-budget completion!!!

While it is possible to acquire one, you will need to be very aggressive as with low supply comes high demand.

I predict the market will turn within the next 2-3 years as soon as the supply and demand picture changes.

If i go this route was considering a $500 limit, which should supply enough drywall, mud, screws, etc. to get them through the drywall repair stage.

The statistics they show are grim for many areas of the country: http://nlihc.org/sites/default/files/oor/OOR_2018....I feel that continuing to provide nice, safe affordable housing in Albuquerque make sense, and that we will have a steady supply of renters. 

The condition we typically use allows for a concession of 3-months scheduled rent if a unit becomes vacant between the acceptance of our offer and Close.That said, when you collect estoppels during diligence, most "irregularities" between information supplied by the Vendor and the tenants' views will be exposed and you can simply negotiate a resolution at that time.

I had a couple bids for plumbing (rerun supply lines in pex from copper as mentioned above and set fixtures) for $6,000 to $8,000.

Now admittedly I had a small sample size over just a few years but tenant relations are generally much better.I get paid on time every month.If a tenant breaks something, they have to fix it or  lose their section 8.There is a lack of supply it seems so tenants jump on vacancy's and stay put.
