I supplied all the capital, knowledge, and did all the leg work as far as contracting, and was the only one who had any business sense.   

I am finding the supply still constrained here in Atlanta and price levels relatively steady.

@Andrew Gingerich  to be fair the reason also I am keen on that area is my Dad was raised there in the 20's and 30s my grandfather had a hardware store in Chelan.. during the depression he won the contract to supply pots pans silverware to the Grand Coulee .. 

I have trucks/tools/supplies etc that I have been including as expenses on my contracting business in the past, but considering that I don’t expect to be reporting any business income, if I filed taxes the way I have been I don’t think the IRS would see my business as operating to produce a profit. 

@James Masotti I had Wells Fargo ready to go but then I withdrew because the interest rate were very high and it was variable despite having credits of 800+.

These are your second hand construction supply places.Flooring - your most inexpensive flooring is going to be builders line vinyl (which you should be able to find at any local flooring store). 

At Your Castle Real Estate's quarterly meeting we had a presentation on the economics of supply and demand in the Airbnb market.

We considered Brunswick and Bath and spoke with a few agents and property managers up that way... the consensus is that demand is outstripping supply, so the market is investment friendly. 

Office supplies (prices regularly beat quill).
