Quote from @Branden Rivero: The issue I see is the building is close to 100 years old and with a $500 hoa it's not an easy sale for an investor Yes, thats true however all expenses the past year increase insurance, sewer, trash, electric and cleaning service.

While we lean heavily on the pro's  for repairs and estimates it makes it much easier when we know the typical issues and concerns on the plumbing, roof, electrical etc sides of a property. 

I was thinking I would create a course that involves a field trip to one of the flips I am working and pointing out all of the things they should catch and helping them understand rehab costs at a line item level.I am an expert in electrical and learned plumbing in the Coast Guard.

The costs of land  , engineering , site work , permits , labor , and building materials make this virtually impossible . then there are zoning issues and the rest of the politics that go along with this . 

I'm Andy, a recent University of Utah Computer Science graduate and now a full-time, 100% remote software engineer.

The duplex itself is a disaster it is a 3/1 and 3/1.5 vandals got in when it was vacant and cut pipes and electrical basically would need to be gutted and probably over 100k in renovations.  

How many books do you think you would need to read before you become a structural engineer?  

No, I think it is their self described "band of scrappy bankers and engineers" actually just trying to create a white label service where the QI has no liability and no effort to expend other than holding the money in some account doing heaven only knows what to make their profit.  

Does each unit have a separate gas and electric meter? 

I recently had an electrical panel that needed to be replaced that the inspector missed which ended up being $1,100.
