Are you planning on managing yourself?

We have final site compliance plans in Columbus Ohio for large development projects and the only people that can do them are either an architect or a civil engineer. an architect is more versatile but the real knowledge is a civil engineer but you need to be able to stamp it for accuracy and you are putting your professional experience on the line. it has nothing to do with zoning. civil engineers don't really help with zoning that would be done by an entitlement group or zoning attorney. degree is probably mandatory before you can become a professional engineer but yes there is incredible demand for those services in our market. for subdivision development as well this is amazing skillset to have.  

That means:Screening tenants ruthlessly.Having cash reserves.Understanding the risks.Having a Plan B if your place doesn’t rent as expected.If you’ve got reserves and a solid plan for managing the property, this could be a great way to start your investing journey.

@Nam-June JoeYou're in a strong position with excellent credit and a clear plan for purchasing a 3–5 unit multifamily property near Emory University.

They do not allow two seperate driveways, which was on my original site plan.  

My research has lead me to a plan of holding onto it for approximately 5 years and then selling.  

Cleaning up our work area, I remembered what my old co-worker once told me on the construction site "There are 3 ways a job gets done: One way in our head, another way planned out, and how the job actually goes." 

I am trying to plan the future for myself and would like to "diversify" by investing in a smaller market that has decent appreciation and decent cash flow (Northampton County PA). 

Although this sounds like a great plan, when they mention training their just like other lead sources. 

A Truly Self-Directed Solo 401k plan is a great vehicle to help escape a middle-class trap and build massive amounts of wealth tax-deferred (or possibly tax-free by utilizing Roth component of the plan).
