I come for a production home background and have built over 500 tract homes.  Now I just do house flips and I can tell you that we buy from Lowes almost all of our materials for our flips.  When I first started flipping house, I got bids from all of my old production subs, but soon discovered Lowes was beating them by 10-15%.  I should say that the materials I'm buying is all finish stuff, plumbing fixtures, lights, tile, etc....stuff that usually goes with house flipping

What people dont understand outside of the southwest is how bad termites are in Tucson. You can not have bare wood touching dirt here.  If you just leave it alone since the tenants are good...then I would insure that there is no physical connection to the main structure that would allow a path for the termites to enter and that their security deposit, in addition to all the usual things, is conditioned on its removal at the end of the lease.  Another concern would be liability, if they built it and it becomes structurally unsound and hurts someone...then who is responsible? That I cant answer for you.
