@Tariq Hakeem, welcome to BP, I would first advise you to try and improve your credit and overall financial health before getting into investing and also if Denver is too hot a market, you might want to invest long distance in a market with lower prices ( although you would first of all need to assemble a trustworthy team).

Scope includes installing six GFCIs, snaking three drains, replacing a shower valve cartridge, very minor drywall patching, small waterproofing patchwork in the basement/front porch, realigning a few doors, replacing a kitchen sink drain assembly, installing blinds, and a handful of other minor items.

GM makes "investments" in it's robotic assembly line systems, right, but those are just assets to perform the construct of making there final product of which they sell.

Take rehab for instance, if I assemble my own team, wouldn't I still need to get involved in level of rehab decision making, impact to home purchase price, etc?  

When we look to save money on cabinets, we buy ready to assemble cabinets.

Essentially you are paying part of your income for some marketing solutions which you could assemble yourself for a few hundred dollars.Awning if full-service, but only handles short-term rentals.

This is achieved through analyzing and assembling deals through a series of proprietary steps that return maximum profit.

Not mobile home type pre-fab but where they panelize the house in a shop and then truck it to site either in panelized walls or even in pre-assembled rooms/floors.

Im thinking a better way instead of estimating rehab costs is to assemble a list of what needs to be fixed in the house so the buyer can see my reasoning instead of just "it will be x amount for rehab." 

The statewide 15% STR tax proposal was pulled by its author and will not get assembly vote this year (and would have lost if it had).
