However, with this type of business, I question the amount of subcontractors that could be stopping by constantly to pick up supplies, drop of paperwork, etc.

. - partner with another investor who supplies the down payment while I do the property management.

I work full time for an agricultural supply chain across East Tennessee.

Try ABC supply.

They print the letter and envelope and supply the stamp.

You can meet the contractors on your smart phone and have them keep you posted and if they need any supplies as was mentioned previosly go to Lowe's or Home Depot and drop it off.

in some areas, quality 2-4 family homes are in short supply and high demand.

You have to supply HUD with proof of funds at time of contract and it has to have a good paper trail between the contract purchaser and the source of funding.

Definitely not an expert, but I feel corporations are leaner and more efficient than they have been in years, banks have higher reserves, the average consumer has gotten smarter about debt (at least most of them I know, not sure of real statistics), the guys in charge of the money supply are actually quite intelligent (at least much smarter than me), public employment is dropping while private employment is rising, and while we are spending too much as a nation, more of us seem aware of that and willing to do something about it, especially the younger people I speak to.

I would ask around your local area, supply houses, paint stores, lumber yards, realtors, etc Having said what I have said, I only hire individuals who carry the required insurances.
