Your Team members need to be experienced and trustworthy.  

As someone who has always felt at odds with the traditional life script, I've realized real estate was the perfect avenue to utilize my unique skill set to build wealth for myself and my team, while simultaneously improving communities along the way.Currently I’m focused on more active investing strategies—primarily wholesaling and rehabbing—as a way to build up a base of capital to reinvest in the growth of my business.

Your Team members need to be experienced and trustworthy.

I have what I believe to be a good team put together between plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and general contractors, but will I be able to use anyone who is not on the "203k approved" list?

A person or team you can trust.

Elliot, If you have a contractor on your team that you work with, sit down with him and ask him what he would charge for specific things.

your best bet is to have one on your team, and consult with him on this matter, i am not a CPA but i believe all those improvements should have been put on your taxes the years that you had the work done, it would have increased the asset value then and kept adding as you did the projects and reported them. i think you are in for an uphill battle now. the work you may have done say 5 years ago can't just be claimed now, there is 5 years of depreciation that is against that work that the IRS will claim you lost out on, so that will have to be deducted from your numbers.

Do you have a team built yet?  

We have a great Metro-parks system, excellent zoo and museum, and fantastic minor league sports teams (Toledo Mud Hens, Walleyes, a new minor league soccer team starting this year, and one of the oldest professional women's football teams).
