It could be a turn key home, or you can put time into a fixer upper and gain sweat equity.

@Eric StoneI still only trust in sweated copper.

There are a lot of questions you can ask yourself to make your goals extremely clear and specific to both you, and your agent.Also, sometimes to get the wholesale prices you have to put in some sweat on your own.

And if it’s a good idea to have a already renovated property or buy a house I can build sweat equity with.

I bought a property in need of repair for $73k, put about $7k into it plus sweat equity over 2 years, and sold it for $108k literally 25 months into owning it.

She claims she will clean it and there are no damages and she wants money for what she referred to as “sweat equity” that she put into making a garden in the yard with raised beds that she has since ripped out and left holes in the yard or mounds of dirt.

If you put 25 k in of your own money and then put some sweat equity into cleaning up the property, even if you didn’t spend another dime, the property might now appraise higher so it’s as if you have more in than the 25 k.  

Put about $1000 and my own sweat equity into it, expecting $45-50k appraisal

I live near the beach and I love sleeping in, so anytime swinging hammers or sweating or stressing will only hinder my beach time and my sleeping in time. 

this is why i am coming to the forms with the idea. to see if its actually something investors in my area would be interested in. i mean if it is then go to the drawing board and hammer out all the fine details and then buckle up for the learning curve. what I was thinking the process would follow more along the lines of a sweat equity partnership. where one guy brings the money and the other hires out the help. however, the help instead of taking a 'paycheck' takes a chunk of equity
