You can consolidate any category of your chart of accounts, for example, account paint and supplies is account 312, 712, 1412, total paint expenses is the total of those accounts. 

So there is high demand and low supply causing prices to go up. 

This was supposed to ease prices (Supply vs Demand economics) However it looks as if prices are still increasing???

Another option is to look at furniture rental companies, many of them have programs for renting furniture by the room for set prices, and do short term for staging. 

Atlanta has lost a lot of construction workers, so supply will remain tight.  

Second, the housing supply is still tight.  

Agreed on the lack of correlation between interest rates and house prices, but I do suspect rising interest rates will cause the demand curve to shift left, while the supply curve shifts right.

A "Supply-side" economics model, in a way.  

Attaching an example that I think would work.Also, have you checked out the quartz counter slabs they sell at East Star building supply?

Private and hard money lenders can lend into whatever they want, but your need might be bigger than one of them can readily supply.
