@Dave Holland unless the property was placed into service prior to the rehab taking place.

Problem is (go figure) that I'm not sure I can raise the capital need to do the deal yet and therefore, so I'm looking for suggestions and feedback on how to do that. 

I am a 28 year old service member in the Navy. 

I have apartment deals from time to time where I raise funds from investors I know for the purchase.

If I don't deliver, you have my fee to compensate you for the cost of my delay.For all the contractors out there that are going to jump on me, I have language in the contract to protect me from delays beyond my control.To me, anyone paid on a percentage basis for anything they do, is either underpaid or over paid for for the service they provide.

I've used a company named Metro Property Services for a few years now, and they are great.

Even if you screw up placing a tenant, and want to be rid of it.... just hire an eviction service and move on.  

I'm starting a rehab project and need a few more sub-contractors, who service the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) area, to complete my team for it. 

I think I can easily raise rents $75 per unit over time.

I was talking to a real estate agent and he mentioned that if I list the true square footage I could be raising some red flags.
