I don't have any remodeling skills but would be interested in learning for sweat equity and also to build an understanding so when I look at future properties I would be able to ball park how much different renovations would cost (this would also come with experience contracting work out when the times comes).What do you think about a 3Br 2 Ba in Chandler at 175k?

We made additional improvements over a 3 year period, using a mixture of skilled labor and sweat equity, and netted appx. $80k.

The only stuff I will sweat are serious foundation issues and possible main sewer line if the house more than ~50 years old.  

Or you may meet a contractor where you could volunteer some sweat equity into the project have have them fund the project. 

Try to figure out reason you aren't getting more interest in it, do your best to re-rent it as fast as you can, don't sweat the utilities.If you get reference calls about him, say he's been a good tenant or whatever but is breaking his lease in moving out.  

You can put in sweat equity.

House was fully rented by Feb 1st with high caliber tenants of my choosing.If you want to do things yourself (sweat equity) or piece by piece, you can keep on your acquired tenants for cash flow as you reno a bathroom, etc.

There is equity ($) and there is sweat equity (work = $).  

Returns in the 10% CoC and 20% IRR (although getting more challenging is not uncommon in value add deals - 5 yr holds are common).9) Yes, nice to see the GP invest but honestly, the GP is risking a ton in these deals..call it sweat equity, putting their own net worth at risk even if non-recourse, situations could occur drawing back bad boy clauses that risk the GP's personal finances.  

Majority of the work would be sweat equity.
