I highly recommend attending a few local meetups and get to know other local investors.

They often offer competitive pricing and have a wide selection.- Online retailers: Amazon and Wayfair are good for smaller items like hardware, as you've mentioned.

Tell them you are offering a renewal but they must complete the application within one week.

There are some that do not have high volume minimums.

I have other considerations like quality of the house at purchase, neighborhood, renting room specifics etc.

We have access to personal capital through equity and recently offered on a boutique motel that we were going to manage initially, but couldn't come to agreement with the sellers. 

I went into the course assuming I was paying $10k for a streamlined acquisitions process but what i got was two days of narcissistic self-aggrandizing guru garbage, a “mind map” that looks like it was thrown together, 34 “strategies” that can be found for free on BiggerPockets sprinkled with juuuuuust enough guru gimmick word vomit and hand waving to impress the eager and inexperienced, several of which were repulsive and absolutely predatory..Instructing students who get their offers turned down by a seller to walk out of the appointment, get in their car and blast out the property out to cash buyers anyway..  

Just ask anyone that's had to close on a weekend before a holiday, they probably would've paid anything to have their loan officer care as much as they did before leaving on vacation for a week..Highly Recommended or Reviewed - Let's be honest..reviews matter.

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

All offers reviewed in a 1-2 days for highest and best.
