Hello,I am a Software Engineer and a Real Estate Investor working on a tech product for the real estate mortgage brokers.

I'm a construction management consultant (so similar to engineering) and investor/agent in the Boston area so I get the need to want/need to stay local.

However having developed many subdivisions myself I was able to work with my client ( who is a very experienced civil engineer that did projects in NYC) So determined that with the base zoning it was not a matter of if it was how many and how  long to get approved.this is probably one of the top 10 markets in the entire US for new builds you would not have Toll brothers there if it was not.  35 minutes or so West of Dulles and all the high tech in that area..

@Kate Zieverink McMinn we just hosted a webinar with a friend in Orange County, CA that used to be a public works engineer.

For our ADU (garage conversion), I am handling the design/engineering and then selecting a final contractor once its permitted and ready to go. 

Most of our clients are professionals - physicians, attorneys, software engineers.

I can search it but same deal, the search engines don't evaluate the results.

You may have to search a bit for the right contractor or engineer - sometimes I see one solution dominating in an area - "that is how we always do it" 

I am an engineer who works out of his basement everyday and rarely is on the phone.

Were obviously “reverse engineered” to find a way to “back into” an attractive or at least acceptable cap rate3.
