2,000$ in supplies in house job.

The main thing I would tend to go with is which method supplies you with positive cash flow or at least a reasonable one.

We have 3-5 big stable plant employers in that area and alot of the workers are forced to commute an hour+ due to the limited units in the surrounding area.I like to think it's my duty to supply that demand and secure my investment future. 

Looking for feedback on what the typical fee is for the a/c unit if Landlord supplies and the electrical up-charge.  

There is no fraud involved in supplying a true copy of one's federal tax return return -even if some or all expenses have been omitted. 

You supply the down payment, they supply the income.

There are a couple of decent ways to get contractors:-Check your local building supply house (not the big box stores).

Read this the other day regarding Donald Trumps recent executive order on examining the affects of regulatory barriers at the Federal, State, local levels on the availability and development of affordable housing. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-establishing-white-house-council-eliminating-regulatory-barriers-affordable-housing/The order states that the council endeavors to encourage State, local, and tribal governments to reduce regulatory barriers to the development of affordable housing.Which in turn, aims to increase the supply of affordable housing.I asked myself what effect will the have on the REI space and my first thought was that the increase in supply will cause rent and values to slow down or possibly even stagnate all together. 

@T Smith mostly supply and demand.  

The supply isn’t keeping pace with the demand which is why prices keep increasing, commute times keep getting longer, and the boundaries of the city keep expanding.
