No Sweat.

PUT IN SOME SWEAT EQUITY AND THIS WILL BE A GREAT HOME.

I would like at least 5 year balloon at 5% 30 yrI'm still working out down payment, but also want to keep some aside to make this ugly thing prettier (paint and some other stuff ~ $3000 plus sweat).What do you think?

Go to sweat some pipes...

I know it's sleeping time over there for you guys (I am sitting here in my room sweating like a piggy in this hot and humid afternoon, haha), so anytime when you wake up and see this post, you could just write :) Looking forward to hear back from you!

I'm not willing to have negative cash flow waiting for interest rates to change, but I don't mind putting sweat equity in either.2017 and 2021 were obviously great times to buy homes, but is 2023 just extra challenging for an aspiring real estate investor? 

I've closed a few deals that had similar situations where someone passed and the family didn't want to keep the property.If you're wanting to find your next project with low overhead costs and a little sweat equity, I'd highly recommend checking probate records for your county and giving them a call.

You can cash out refi on the investment property if you plan on adding value(sweat equity), it’ll be tighter to do if you are looking for a turnkey property.all-in-all it’s a great plan to let your primary residence work for you providing you do the proper due diligence on your investment  You're absolutely right!

Lose a tenant in your only house and you sweating until you find your next tenant which will likely lead to a poor decision.

Appreciation, remodeling or sweat equity, monthly cash flow, etc.
