You'll definitely have to do more due diligence on your contractors and stay more on top of things if you don't have any construction background, but after a couple projects you'll start to learn that side of the business.Look at it this way, Warren Buffett owns businesses ranging from insurance to food to shoes to diamonds to paint supply to jets to furniture to railroads, etc...do you think he's an expert in all those things?

BP is very supportive and supplies an unlimited source of resources.

Network with vendors will get you better deals on supplies, or unless you want to pay retail.

I can purchase the valve and housing from the same company that supplies the municipalities for $120.

It can not hurt to have the supplies on hand, even if you do need them right now if you in the rehabbing or rental business.

Anyway, what I am saying is that the information he is supply is accessible to anyone with MLS access and if you are working with an agent they can give you the exact thing.

Instead, you are to supply in writing some very specific wording to comply with FCRA requirements.

Working with a Property manager, in a real estate office, with a construction company, doing labor for a contractor, working a local building supply store or a Home Depot or Lowes... you get the idea.

What about when you went to purchase supplies?

In instances like that its best to go to an electrical supply.
