You might be standing in line and hear a cell phone conversation in front of you with some guy in a suit complaining to someone about a deal that didn't work, or something like that, and that's the perfect opportunity to create a little luck.

The reason I ask is the manager might not know where to get the best contractors at the best pricing.They might be calling someone out of the phone book etc.Those companies mainly do retail jobs and will do an occasional investor job and be slightly lower in price but not much.If you find a contractor that does investors jobs for their main business they understand you need a low price.They get in fast and complete and make money with volume of deals versus up charging fat profits on retail deals.The most expensive cost of tiles is the cost per sq ft to install them.Regular guys wants something crazy like 3 to 4 sq ft.You have to find someone to do the labor for cheap that lays tiles and that is the key.Make sure the property manager is not building in a fee for themselves into the bid or there is a main contractor using subs to up charge you.
