They're currently provided HOI on a couple rentals for us in the BR area.

Currently live in and work out of, but will be moving out this year and renting both units as short term rentals.

I am currently under contract on a primary residence that is in disrepair.

We, thankfully, had a friend of a friend connect us to a delivery person, who directly picked up flooring and delivered to us, then we worked with flooring company to get a credit back on price.Or, we did Ikea cabinets, which came with both more pieces than we ordered, and not all the pieces we ordered.  

This is what I have done with a more extensive rehab with my GC, but wasn't sure if this is standard for smaller repair budget and dealing with a handyman / sub directly.  

You can probably do it in areas without zoning or farmland, but it is very difficult in a traditional residential zone.Your best bet is to look for areas along busier roads that are currently residential and turning commercial or already turned commercial with lingering residential.

I would inform him that since he did not call you in advance and since you have never authorised him to call contractors directly that you will not be paying for a service that you do not know was needed.

My budget is below 150k, I am looking for SFH and possibly duplexes.1.

Currently, I am working on renting out my extra room in my 2 bed, bath condo.
