By 2nd half 2021 I was getting such outlandish estimated bills (or no bill at all) I was ready to pull my hair out. 

Now, 1000's of hours of education to cut hair.

It's no different than deciding to open up a restaurant, hair salon, or other type of business. 

I put in some new flooring and paint, minor electrical, and a couple of ceiling fans (approx 20k in repairs, appliances, travel, and holding)I put in a new refrigerator, washer and dryer, and leased it myself to a family a few months later (6 months lease) through an insurance company because of their home being a total loss.

You replaced a microwave and washer and dryer because they didn’t work?

Find a company that isn’t going to gouge you on pricing but they handle the logistics so you can focus on finding more deals.In the end, you will make more margin finding the next good deal rather than splitting hairs to save $50 on kitchen cabinets by shopping around for an hour at supply houses.

The one hang up on sliders is if you're using them for a washer/dryer closet, in which case the sliders are a real PITA to get the laundry from one machine to the other. 

Lush facial and body hair.
