A guy like me would tell you to buy a very cheap investment property in a low income area (not a total warzone), get a credit card interest free for a year or so at Home Depot or Lowes, hire a starving contractor, roll up your sleeves and put some sweat equity into a property.

grand blood sweat tears and sticking their necks out . 

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Cape Fear.

Purchase price: $169,900

Cash invested: $30,000

-Purchased as a Fix & Hold
-Used owner-occupied 5% down convention...

I wouldn't sweat it though. 

You're contributing the "sweat equity" and the investor contributes the capital.

After purchase I can live on-site, managing contractors and putting in sweat equity 24/7…taking breaks to visit local breweries of course JFUNDING: $70K cash available.

Pending a title search, it could be the perfect opportunity to build some sweat equity in a great neighborhood for a personal residence.

No sweat!  

If you have low or no capitol to fund purchases and projects, you will have to build capitol and replace it with sweat equity or finding and putting deals under contract.If you have capitol for projects and no access to deals or know how to spend your time locating deals or wholesalers who have them and KNOW YOUR NUMBERS.
