There will be this trade off that you will get out of any remodel. 

I currently live in Charleston and am a fishing guide by trade so I have a good base understanding of how water moves through salt marsh areas, but it'd make me feel a lot better about this purchase if I could have an expert look at it.

Just like anywhere else I think the biggest challenge is finding homes to flip at the right price and being able to build a team of trades that can complete projects on time, within your budget and with the quality that can sell.With your experience I'm surprised you bought new construction. 

I encourage all others who have been swindled or have had similar experiences to share them too and to submit complaints to the Better Business Bureau, Department of Consumer Affairs, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, State Board of Accountancy, Federal Trade Commission, Police Department’s Financial Crime Unit, and the District Attorney.

If you develop skills, you can also trade knowledge for cpa or bookkeeping work in exchange for your knowledge or help.

For large managers this may not be an interesting route but for those wanting to benefit from the royalties from the secondary market trading, its an interesting route for sure

These reported sales prices impact the trading cap rate.

Maybe some sort of "white glove" organization exists, but doubtful.Also, it would be better to split it up for sourcing issues, just like hiring trades instead of general contractors.For example, it took me two years to find my agent. 

@Christopher FrazeTo clarify, you need to meet two factors:1) More than 50% of the personal services you perform in all businesses during the year MUST be performed in a real estate business you materially participate.2) You must work at least 750 hours in a real estate trade or business.If either you or the spouse qualifies as a Real Estate Professional then you will be permitted to deduct all passive activity losses from your rentals against ordinary income from whatever sources derived.

Check your ego, consultants and trades are people too.
