Maybe you are really handy and enjoy putting in the sweat equity.

@Edward Suess-Hassman you won't be able to cashflow if you buy Class A or B property - unless it is a:1) Desperate seller and you get well below market price2) A major fixer-upper that you can invest your sweat-equity inYour other options are:1) Invest in Class C - but only do if you undertand 20-25% chance of tenant nonperformance and a lot of maintenance issues.2) You invest in another part of the country.DM us if you have more questions.

.- We have busy but well paying jobs and don't like to spend time in building sweat equity (BRRR, flip), so will take a slightly low maintenance approach and buy relatively newer properties in B class neighborhoods and use property management for day-to-day operations.Goal:- To get to $10K/month net profits with real-estate (today's currency) in 15 years when we plan to retire.

If you've got a higher price rental deal (multiple units), with a LOT of equity in it (I like 50% and above for deals I'm gonna sweat over), and after refinancing my return on the equity position in the property is going to be 20% or above I'll consider it. 

Hey Ryan, I know there are some folks that provide this service but I'm not sure exactly how it works and how much trust is involved.If it's any consolation, I wouldn't sweat it too much.

Also, there is no ability to put in sweat equity and get an increased return (like with directly own real estate).

Acquiring a property that needs rehab allows you to build that sweat equity once you rehab it.

You have to get contractor bids to qualify, but ten you can do the work yourself after closing and build sweat-equity.2) Be very picky about the next property you buy and make a bunch of lowball offers to find a motivated seller, willing to sell under market.

Sweat equity is the best way to grow in this industry with that amount of money.

Would you wanna be doing laundry while you're sweating?
