“Effective April 1, 2019, a new NY State law requires all NEW or REPLACEMENT smoke detectors in New York State to be powered by a 10-year, sealed, non-removable battery, or hardwired to the home.”...so I can't do the cheap $4 ones.But yeah I'll try to buy in bulk..And hope to use them all up before the 10-year life runs out!

I'm not looking to flip, i want to build for rent but really dont like buying a $60k lot when the buyer just picked it up for $15k 60 days ago....how are people sourcing these super cheap lots?
