How much sweat equity can be done with a given loan?

I know this business is far from easy and so I am ready to devote my blood, sweat and tears into becoming a successful investor.

I have also added some sweat equity in the form of refinished original hardwood floors and new paint throughout.

Your ability to do a lot of the sweat equity yourself should help you save in our hot (literally & figuratively) market!

The value that I would provide to them would be via my capital, my time and my sweat equity that I'm willing to invest into the deal. 

Hi everyone,Hitting the reset button in life, looking to build up a portfolio of investment properties for me and my beautiful bride so we can eventually have enough passive income to retire.Have a bit of our own capital / time / energy to invest, along with good credit, so instead of paying high for our own place, we're getting into investing first to increase our monthly cash flow.Will also be partnering with family to do out of state, (for us, not them) deals as well, maybe starting in the Dallas / Ft Worth area.My brother in law has the financial edge, me, in construction trades for over 30 years.Together we want to assemble a few properties, then slowly build on that momentum to insure a better quality of life for both our families, ultimately controlling a decent sized portfolio.Interested in mostly SFR's and multi-units, and not afraid to board a plane to check a deal or get out the tools and perform some sweat equity.So, if you have some info to share, please do.

Geeze, I can give (passive) investors that no sweat, without the volatility of stocks.  

If you're planning on contributing sweat equity, the accounting for that gets rather complex.  

Our plan is to keep the house for about another year and then sell and capture all the sweat equity that I put into it.

They're really looking for an owner occupant who's willing to put in some sweat equity and get a good deal.Hot properties can draw a lot of bids quickly, and go for over the listing price.You have little leverage with the bank on a brand new listing.
