Mentoring I can deliver if there is something I could contribute.Maybe I should just look at the executive summary.

The materials vary but labor costs vary as well.I usually assume $10 dollars per sqft (interior livable sqft) on a very light cosmetic rehab that would only be some flooring, cleaning, paint, change of plumbing fixtures, possibly some appliances, and kitchen hardware, along with some new trim).Once we get to redoing the trim and doors and new kitchen it can get up to 20-30 dollars per sqft or more depending on the grade or level of work you're doing (low end, mid end, to higher end area).Most of my experience has been with upper low to mid range rehabs and rental grade rehabs focused on getting the highest rents, with the most durable materials I can find, delivering the eye candy, but not over spending either.So I guess for you it will depend who  you're catering your rehab or repairs for.

We go door to door to deliver community newsletters, make detector batteries, surplus food (we have access to eggs and produce).  

You will learn 10times faster then asking the questions on bigger Pockets.The questions about the extend if rehab, each rehabber will be different, if you find one or two good ones, look at their houses, look at what they paid, find out what they want, then deliver for them. 

By hiring a professional, I have quality photographs delivered to my inbox and do not have to ask myself if the home is adequately photographed or make subsequent trips to the home to take additional photos.If you are an experienced photographer that others ask to take their photos, then you can do it yourself.

They need to find someone that can deliver and thus they can trust.

What type of value would a real estate professional (licensed or not) have to deliver to earn your loyalty?

I was quoted cheaper prices but needed it delivered the same day.

Doing a 'few' small flips with your own funds would have a lot of value other then keeping more of the profits: Learning Curve, Full Cycle Experience, Portfolio Examples, Refining Target Market, Contact Development, Team Development, etc. etc.A prospective lender, who has to rely on you to deliver, can have much more confidence in your abilities, capabilities and judgement to get the work done, 'on time', 'on budget' and perhaps most importantly 'on profit'.Good Luck

Make a stunning surprise to your loved ones, friends and family by delivering your special wishes along with excellent presents.
