There are a number of local suppliers who inflate their prices and give discounts to contractors, but in the end this is a mental trojan horse game.I think over the long haul using Lowes or HD's "pro" programs coupled with discounts from their CCs or gift cards (from a site like Raise or CardCash) will lead to the lowest costs for a given project comparing apples to apples.

The name of the company I use for bulk email addresses, phone numbers and the names of homeowners or property owners is https://services.datazapp.comThis company charges only 3 cents per record and I think the company is a 1-horse family-owned operation and they always offer very large discounts for larger quantities.As with any list you purchase from any company, there is a very significant amount of inaccuracy with every company and this is an expectation that we businesses have to deal with.

Toughen up, get back on that horse and be ready for the next one, keep educating yourself, and getting rid of the what I call..

A house a few doors down from that and across the horse trail has a 2 story tennis house that is far larger than many of my rental units but in a small footprint.  

To me, discriminating against a breed of dog is the same as discriminating against a person because of race.  

But I fantasize all day about being my own boss and leaving the daily rat race that is my work life.

I would initially start booking with services like Airbnb, homeaway, etc. but would like to move away from that at some point...don't want to hitch my wagon to a single horse.  

I am an American who has some ancestors who's race just happened to be Negroid.Before anyone asks, I intend to vote for McCain.

No reason to beat a dead horse.
