You can read all you want, but you just don't know until you are in the middle of the process (wanting to cry, pull your hair out, sweating profusely because it is phoenix in the summertime and 116 degrees and what were you thinking flipping a house?!)

Point being, for small developers/ investors like myself who don't have lots of discretionary funds to spend to have experts help you out (for something so unsure as a rezoning), sweat equity is always an option.

I'm also looking for turn-key till I get a chance to get over there an put some sweat equity in to LTRs and flips.Best of luck!

Smiththis is tooo funny , i was the same way on my first deal, i wore a sweater even though it was hot lol because i was sweating underarm so bad lol 2 words Deodorant and ContractAs for the repairs 99% of investors are going to come up with therir own numbers so you dont need to be exact If you know other houses are selling within 2 miles or less for that 100K+ then your looking goodJust remember you make money when you negotiate not when you sell to thr investor So negotiate her undies off lolGood luck In box if you need help along the way 

If you don't have the capital to scale buying BRRR's and other properties that require sweat equity are good because it keeps you busy and focused while building up capital and also increasing equity.

(kiavi may be able to help there)d) Partner in on a deal- You work with someone who is reliable and trustwrothy who knows the business and join them in on a deal and bring the money to the table to get an % return and mitigate risk or an Equity stake and take on addtitional sweat equity but with someone who is willing to work with you and help teach you development, flips or buy and holds. 

at about the 4:10 mark he discusses sweat equity.Great information for joint venturing. 

**Sweat Equity**: The value added to a property through the owner's time, effort, and labor rather than financial investment.24.

It takes a lot of sweat equity to make up for lack of capital in order to keep the REI momentum going.I am always weary of posts that could lead a newer investor down a risky path.

You make a very valid point but sometimes we work with what we got and all I need is a partner rather than an investor and my only contribution is sweat equity.
