Rank is earned over thousands of hours of training and blood, sweat, and tears.

I am a big fan of sweat equity and the opportunity it provides and curious how much time all of this took.2.

Don't sweat it.Over the years I've watched my credit scores bounce around 10-20 points in either direction for no apparent reason.

Therefore for me it the sweat equity has been in management (i self manage) and watching the costs.

I do wonder how many newer plumbers will not even be taught how to properly/ correctly "sweat" a copper water line.

I mean the blood sweat and tears that come with real state proper...I observed a loophole as I am a member of the Outsider Club an online investor's portal.

I've put some sweat equity in that and am taking some cash out now to fund a flip with a partner. 

I think the point Minh is trying to make is that when your deals are strong from the get go and profit per unit is high, sweating it out over small and variable numbers can be a somewhat fruitless endeavor.

Now it's one of those "fancy houses" on the art deco tour, but it's all sweat equity.

But if you think about all the tax deductions, rental cash-flow, property appreciation we've seen in just these two short years, it has been a much great return and has accelerated our net worth growth so much more than Stocks have.On the other hand, I've never had to sweat or bleed picking a stock or index fund, but this morning I am sore and bruised from being busy last night picking up two kitchens worth of used cabinets off craigslist.
