I am not aware of them getting accounts receivable financing.. our biggest supplier is lumber and its a huge company ParrOur monthly draws are about 500k spread between many subs.. so not to much to carry for all the individual subs... but they want their check on the 10th and if you don't pay them they leave LOL.Also in Oregon properly done material man leins are super leins they jump ahead of the bank or any other creditor except property taxs.. so subs who have the brain power to send pre lien notices in accordance with the law .. they are going to get paid one way or another its really quite a great place to be a sub in that regard..

You may not be able to buy at a grocery store, who is the wholesale supplier?

www.soapwarehouse.biz - they have some good cleanersand www.jracenstein.com - they are a window cleaning supplier but have a rust remover called (F9 B.A.R.C.) that has worked wonders in for me for getting stuff off of vinyl.Sorry I couldn't help more

Scott mentioned, if you lack experience, get an inspection up front so you don't miss something and they can come back when you're done to ensure the buyer will be happy.....home warranties can be worth it in the retail market.Don't tie up money in materials to just sit there, buying an HVAC unit 3 months before it goes in isn't wise, order it, have the supplier hold it, pick up and pay before installation. 

You can buy them at a very reasonable price if you get it from a Chinese supplier, but the quality really varies, so be sure to work with someone reputable.  

Currently doing a small window replacement job, only 70 windows, supplier got measurements wrong on 4 of them, he ate it, no big box will do that.Good luck.

Personally I do not mind bringing business somewhere else, last year I bought 3,000 angle stops and 3,000 faucet SS hoses, sent them a sample/spec, HD sells them for $6-8/pc, supplier prices were $1-1.15/pc, spent another $.50-.60/pc on air cargo and etc.

In addition to being a REALTOR, my husband is a supplier in the multifamily industry.

We have talked to many suppliers already, and we get the same timing estimate from all of them.
