Account Closed is correct, absolutely do both.. especially if youre just starting out even Grant Cardone started with a SFR. but for the sake of his question lets say you have 100k saved up for a real estate endeavor TOTAL, and you find a SFR that fits the 1% ratio (100k house that brings in 1k rent) that is doable if you calculate it out that would equal a 8.2% cash on cash IF it stays at a 90% occupancy rate. on the other hand if you invest that 100k into a limited partnership with a company that invests in value add apartments will now your cash on cash can be a preferred 10% with a target of 16-20% IRR which would essentially double your money in 2-5 years.. in this scenario the SFR would take sweat equity from you and risk while only returning a measly 8% CoC while the MF would be completely passive allowing you to learn and grow without hindrance with a 10% CoCnow we are over simplifying but I hope this made sense.. cuz my brain hurts ;D

Sweat equity added would likely put these back around 70-80 LTV after Renovations.   

They just naturally migrated to it as they learned the difference between assets and liabilities and how sweat equity can accelerate the process of wealth building.During the covid lock downs, I had them read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and write a report for me.

I have fresh eyes and am not afraid to invest some sweat equity.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

It was difficult to remodel and I had a massive amount of sweat equity. 

But if you feel you know the tenants well enough and the couple are good tenants I would not sweat the sister not being on the lease

C) The worth of investing $30k in sweat equity, considering this is an out-of-state investment.I would appreciate any insights or advice you could give me on this potential investment.Thank you in advance for your input.

If it is a good deal, don't sweat the little stuff, just deal with it.

If I can gain some sweat equity it might help my portfolio take off a little better but we’ll see.I would love to do a house hacking deal.
