I briefly considered the many used appliance dealers, but decided the couple of hundred dollars I would have saved wasn't worth the risk of them not working in 30 days.

These type of tactics work great in financial services just wonder how it will translate to landlording.They call me "The Tenant Whisperer" hahaAuto dealers offer $100 for customer recommendations should the recommendation turn into a purchase.

I tend to dream bigger dreams than what selling make-up or vacuum cleaners might offer, and with things like that being so popular, I don't see the point in it for me (everyone I know is a dealer of sorts so why should I become one too if I would have no one to sell to lol).

If the home is inside a park on rented land than pursuing your Dealer's license may be something to consider moving forward.

It helps prevent being labeled as a "dealer".This is just what I have been told, so you definitely want to speak with an attorney.There is also a BP podcast that speaks about this.  

For things such as tile, roofing, cabinets, you have to use other dealers.

Not saying, brokers are bad people who should not be trusted - their sole interest is to make money.Although they are held to disclosure laws, that doesn't always hold true with unscrupulous dealers.

then, take both suckers and the frame measurement of the window you need to a dealer and they can reorder what you require.

Would that fly at a car dealer or anywhere else for that matter?

Crime tends to be in pockets, essentially around the dealers.. drive by late at night, ask neighbors, etc..
