If I’m the intellectual property and sweat partner and he is the money isn’t he supposed to inject the money into the business.

Hello @Cynthia Alexandra SanchezI highly recommend "house-hacking" a home which you can also add value with some sweat equity, ADU possibly and even refinance most of the money invested.

I know that sounds like a broad generalization, but without purchasing significantly below market value or putting in a decent amount of sweat equity, the property will not perform all that well and will hurt your debt to income ratio. 

So, I'd like to use some sweat equity (while I still can), and a HELOC to get something that can.  

Please stop telling folks how much money we are making down in Athens Georgia by University of Georgia ;)Shout out to @Steven Duffee and wife Donna, whose blood sweat and tears helped turn this dilapidated condo into a money making beast!  

Even with Oakland rent control, you can increase "banked" rents if they haven't been increased in years.It takes time and sweat.

I am certain that you have to have some of your own sweat equity, time, education, etc. in the equation before a mentor is willing to come out and help you.   

lol They would study all week, sweat it at the last second, forget everything and pass with a 70.

My girlfriend is an architect, I've done some renovations in the past and am willing to build sweat equity, her parents have know how and connections around renovating houses. 

It took about 1 year from start to finish, but the rewarding feeling I got after all of the literal blood, sweat, and tears of 1 year of very hard work, was worth it all.
