Hi Lance,I did two of them on apartments and NNN retail investing on BP.The shows went an hour and I only covered about 10% of material due to time constraints.What specific questions did you have and I will try to answer.

I would say minimal work is more like 1-5/sqft depending how frugal you are with labor and materials and assuming you're just patching some drywall, paint spraying the house and replacing the floors.

I have heard that some flippers can do bathrooms, etc, very inexpensively, and I guess I don't know where to find the reasonable contractors or materials.  

In exchange you would do manual labor task, pick-up materials, do office work, pass out flyers, etc. 

She mentioned that they would have to source materials identical to what is there now.

The material of the fencing plays a vital role when it comes to determining the final price of the house in the market.
