Since we are buying several of each item (we need 2-3 sets now) and hopefully will be rehabbing 8-12 by year 2/3, has anyone had success negotiating a bulk discount with either the big box brands or with a smaller family owned appliance store or even a retail distributor.

Hello Everyone- I am brand new and looking to buy my first investment property.

Hello everyone, I'm brand new to REI and looking to buy my first property in Indianapolis.

My properties are in a lower income area and people have to have a place to live. 2 times the rent is often fine assuming they don't have a brand new car with a relative giant payment. 

I wanted to drop a line as I am brand new to REI and trying to learn as much as possible.

I am brand new investor just getting my feet wet.
