Also did this company mention that you will have to continue to use "basic service" from your current supplier?

The check came from the owner (the city), they just hired someone to make sure that all the licenses, lien waivers, material suppliers, and subcontractors complete their paperwork before releasing the check.

I currently live in GA, where I moved my family after getting a sales job for a large industrial supplier.

Julia, check out the program for Lowe's and 20 other suppliers.

The problem is inventory... most suppliers are finding it hard to get their hands on quality rental homes. 

HD is 6 weeks out which may be the case for all suppliers, but maybe someone else is cheaper for the same quality.  

Using trusted suppliers that keep tenants happy and charge you under market pricing ($ Savings for owners); Getting it renewed or re-rented with next to no turn ($ savings for owners); Posting rental for lease 60 days out allows you to start the rent higher and move pricing downward as you get closer to renewal. 

I called two subs and my supplier at ABC and you are right.

I you don't mind me asking, did you order all the materials from a single place or supplier, or various outlets?
