I'm most interested in cash flowing properties, am not afraid to put some sweat equity into the investment (cosmetic - not foundational).

Shake my head, tell her to turn down heater to 72deg and if she gets cold at that temp to put sweat pants on.

Before I spend any of my sweat money there is only one place I look to.

We're certainly putting some sweat equity into this deal but it's been exciting knowing that we're finally making moves and learning along the way.If you ever have any interest in meeting up for a beer & a quick chat, please reach out!

Don't sweat the houses that come and go, just stick to your numbers and eventually you'll get one.Best of luck!

But if you think about all the tax deductions, rental cash-flow, property appreciation we've seen in just these two short years, it has been a much great return and has accelerated our net worth growth so much more than Stocks have.On the other hand, I've never had to sweat or bleed picking a stock or index fund, but this morning I am sore and bruised from being busy last night picking up two kitchens worth of used cabinets off craigslist. 

I used to sweat my copper, then briefly did cpvc, and finally bought some PEX tools.

If you still forget something don't sweat it, just call them back and ask.You have it backwards with the last sentence in your post.

Or else they have vastly over-estimated the value of whatever they are bringing to the table (a potential deal, money, construction expertise, offers in the way of 'sweat equity') in my opinion.

every realtor I know is sweating for the house to be done... that they have buyers.
