So I feel I took a hit on some of my sweat equity.All in all it was a great experience.

You can do all of the hard work and earn sweat equity.

I wouldn't sweat a couple properties at all.

Maybe he is hoping to have the GC do the sweat and split the profit. lol.

Then Uncle Sam paid me a visit to say thanks for all my blood, sweat and tears.

"Walking" for me was buying a cosmetic fixer SFR and living there while putting in "sweat equity" in paint, flooring, kitchen, and baths.

We are not looking to do the work ourselves but to hire a contractor, and we’ve been told by several realtors and investors that without adding our own sweat equity that it would be extremely challenging to do a successful flip, let alone a cash out refinance - does this ring true, or are there other options worth exploring?

I need to put some sweat equity and learn how to deal with contractors.

Sabi your all over the map with your questions.. its just one flip .. don't sweat it pay it all from one checking account and then move on.. concentrate on making a profit that's whats important

I'm planning on having a 30% sweat equity position in the property after rehab.
