More of a generalize long term goal is to continue flipping while collecting buy and holds for passive income while I advance my career in the civil engineering field. 

Flooring runs around 4-5 sq/ft installed if you are using cheaper engineered or tile, more if you want real wood.

(attorney, engineer, numbers guy, GC, etc.)All the best.

I was recently given an end date for my current job (I'm a contract engineer so it happens).

He gets back to me with a "discounted" bid from his internal architect and engineer of $2 sqft to get everything done.

I am a Pittsburgh native and recent engineering grad from Carnegie Mellon.

I have briefly looked on here, Bigger Pockets, and other search engines.  

Any offer you put it make it contingent upon and inspection and get a structural engineer review it (not a home inspector) - note have a home inspector review the rest of the house as well

My father built houses and sold them, sometimes up to three at a time, while working a job as a civil engineer when I was growing up.  

You could always go private money if you -really- want to go there, but if you are "new to the game", then I'd heavily advise you against brand new construction without either a construction or engineering background or if you are heavily banked.At 80-100k equity, you could turn that into 135-170k of buying power with bank financing at around 60% LTV (I'd be conservative if this was your first time going at it to make sure you will cashflow and establish that to keep working with your banks).
