Find lenders, contractors, interior designer (if needed), architect, suppliers and a realtor before you find the right deal so you can jump on it when the time is right and start executing immediately.

Find a flooring supplier and ask them what contractors do a lot of business there.  

You also need a lien release from him and any vendors/suppliers he had work on your property.

The secret is to become a supplier to them then they stop being competition and become clients :-)

I will see if I can get a guarantee from my suppliers and vendors that they will be able to cut me some slack in the coming year and charge me less for their services, and that goes for supplies/materials as well." 

You may be able to get credit from some of your suppliers by also offering to personally guarantee payments.Building credit is a process and you will probably want to get a DUNS account to verify what your business is like.

You'd do this through WREIAs primarily2- Another way, which is how I found 1 of my 2 main crews, is to call up rehab material suppliers.

For you, something in the line of, "I bought a new house, I didn't buy a rehab, will you accept a new material and your supplier gave you a used one?".

Why not start a company of this sort and set up meetings with investors and discuss all that investors are looking for and services they would use, have listings of all open units, have maintenance people all set up and ready, have contractors that all of the investors get better pricing from due to high volume, also suppliers lower pricing.

I am looking for good providers/suppliers of Turnkey properties in the Charlotte market.
