Sounds like the lesson of sweat equity was worth it in the long run. 

It’s sweat marketing, but produces great results for me.

I wouldn’t sweat it too much.

We added an estimated 10k in sweat equity based on local comparative market analysis.

(Put in so much money and sweat and all this happening) as well I want to keep doing Brrr but not I am more hesitant because at thisnoint I don't know what to look for or if what I see if there is more that I don't see even with inspections and stuff.Thanks for your time.

I'd love to have the opportunity to exchange sweat equity for exposure and knowledge, or have a cup of coffee with someone who'd be willing to share their story with an aspiring young REI. 

How about putting sweat equity into a deal?  

I know him through work, we're both consulting to the same client/project and therefore work together a lot.The deal we came up with is the following: We divide the ownership 1/3 for me and 2/3 for him (both ownership, appreciation, cash flow, mortgage etc)He will put down 60% on his 2/3rd of the mortgage, thereby allowing me to put down only 10% on my 1/3rdThe price for this is my "sweat equity" by doing all the work regarding the acquisition of the property, sorting out the mortgage etc.We will look for a 40-50 sq. meter studio and convert that into a 1-bedroom apartment to add value (in Utrecht comparable sized 1-bedrooms are more expensive than studios)We'll rent it out, split all costs and profits according to the 1/3 and 2/3 ownershipAfter a few years we refinance (when there's enough capital in the property by adding the bedroom plus hopefully appreciation), and that's where he pulls out all his initial capital plus some (effectively going from 60% to 70% LTV and upping the mortgage), and I will pull out a little bit of capital because I will go from a 90% to a 70% LTV.I will be doing the property management, for which I'm getting paid (we work out the going rate, and he will pay me 2/3rds of that monthly rate out of his cash flow so effectively we're both paying according to the partnership split but I'm receiving the money)I will be able to tap into his experience and knowledge with a small amount of money into the deal during the start. 

There is two ways to build your network - by sweat or with a check.Your #1 goal is to prospect for new leads - something that most dislike.

Lawn would be a sweat thing (it is 10 minute from personal residence), utilities are divided already.
