You'll need one licensed in the state you're looking into. I would imagine, however, that many engineers in the DC area have licenses in the surrounding states. 

To find one (aside from word of mouth), search for your state/areas society for professional engineers. NSPE is the national organization, and they will have a list of regional chapters. I'd then contact your local chapter for guidance. 

Unfortunately, many engineers/firms dont touch residential stuff...but then again some of us do.

Originally a house hack, but stayed a little longer due to marriage, then a a baby, then life.

Low end house in a great neighborhood

MLS through realtor

Traditional, 15% down

How did you add value to the deal?

Kitchen and bath addition, full demo and reno of another bath, reno of remainder of house. All self performed

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Fear is the enemy. I closed on this house a few days after losing my job. It needed a full renovation and was very undesirable when I purchased it. Hard work pays off.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Realtor for purchase and sale.
