Bought a small warehouse - thoughts on buying in bulk

[Ward Conville]

Good afternoon,

Our buy and hold business has reach over 130 units and we have purchased a small warehouse.  I was seeing that my maintenance head was spending 5  plus hours a week at Home Depot, Lowe's and other vendors, mostly picking up the same items.  Our plan in to stock the warehouse with items that we use routinely, from appliances, plumbing fixtures, paint, toilets, toilet flappers, etc.  Does anyone have any experience with buying these items in bulk?  Would like anyone's thoughts on bulk buying of appliances, flooring, plumbing fixtures, etc.  Thank you,
