@Shannon Richardson Did you landlord supply you with a receipt within the appropriate time frame (usually within 21 days of your move out)? 

Here's what I have so far:1) Network on BP or local REIA's to find qualified contractor referrals then further vet those referrals through websites like Yelp.2) Interview 10-15 contractors through those referrals or websites.3) Get 3-5 materials and labor separated bids with an expected worst case scenario time frame for your rehab prior to finalizing the deal.4) Turn the bid into a binding contract where bonuses are in place for finishing on time/early and penalties are established for finishing late.5) Supply the materials for each phase of the rehab and pay labor as phases are verified to be complete by other team members (Real Estate Agent/Property Manager). 

Our leases have a clause that states if an applicant supplies false or misleading information on their application it is grounds for termination of the lease.I would NEVER sign a document I don't get a copy of--in full.This tenant got over on you. 

AC units should have return air also, not just the supply ducts like many heat only systems. 

@Danitra Wynn You may want to check with your local mobile home supply store.

@Kadija Samura We are short on supply in Austin which opens up opportunities to re-purpose existing supply allowing fix and flip investors to enter the market.

It has been a seller's market for way too long and the supply has been very low even pre covid.

Covid had effect many things and parts and supplies are one of them.   

They couldn’t bring in labor fast enough so labor costs skyrocketed and supply took awhile to ramp up.

I understand that prices are dictate by supply and demand, but I'm scratching my head as to where the demand is coming from when there are millions that are currently unemployed, and homeowners are asking for forbearance on their mortgages because they lost their jobs or have reduce pay, etc... so where in the world is this demand coming from?
