Doesn't happen as Wayne mentioned, but the OP states don't sweat the details, LOL.Did you also notice you're living off $250 a month, really? 

As well, we'd like to manage more & sweat less for our equity.   

This means all the income flows back to the retirement account and grows on a tax deferred basis and you cannot do any sweat equity work on the property.

Formed an LLC to run the venture as a business, and I’ve already bought a property for 25k, planning on a significant rehab in the 50-60k range with added sweat equity.

Has done one short sale recently and is sweating it out.

Also looking for sweat or equity partners for deals.

I've done dozens of deals myself over the past 10+ years and every one of them I've had to put in a combination of my money, blood, sweat, and tears.

Sweat equity: I demoed a bathroom, painted all rooms in the house.Money in: Replaced the Washer/Dryer, replaced carpet prior to saleBuy the dip: I was lucky with my timing.

There are still some good cash flowing properties in the LV if you look hard enough and are willing to put in some sweat equity.  

(I set it for Florida counties for you: https://publicrecords.netronline.com/state/FL )Once you identify the owners (or in the case where it says the owner is an estate, look on google or legacy.com for an obituary which will provide you with the heirs) use a skiptrace tool like skipgenie.com (who has a cool price point of $99/month for unlimited searches) to find them and see if you can make a deal.By taking these basic steps, you will learn how to actually identify deals, which will be invaluable over your career.On the other hand, anyone not willing to put in this specific sweat equity, will ultimately be robbing themselves of valuable experience and might not be right for this industry in the first place.I truly hope this helps.
