A house hack is all about sweat equity.

We are DIY'ers and we both work m-f 9-5 jobs, so putting in sweat equity isn't a deterrence for us while we save and learn valuable skills.

Also, depending on how much work you'd like to put into a property, a 203k loan might make sense to add sweat equity and have it financed.

It was Appraised for $315k and I thought about taking $300k cash for it...but that's not really right considering the 6 months of blood (literally), sweat, exhaustion, and tears we put into it without anyone helping us!

BRRRR was sweat equity via rehab. 

In the near future, I'll be searching for a mentor to show me the ropes while I put in some sweat equity to gain traction and confidence to land my own deal.

Our overhead or sweat labor will be Taxes, Insurance, Lawn maintenance, Cleaning every week, and General upkeep.

I'll have it turned around and rented quickly so am not sweating it.

Create the best product you can for your investment and don’t sweat the small stuff.

I knew going forward that I was going to need to offset the rehab cost with sweat equity.
