My name is Ryan and i'm a 30 year old software engineer out of Northern NJ. 

If it’s just a shell and you’re going to build it out, I can’t imagine getting a permit anywhere without engineer/architect signed and sealed drawings (blueprints) that detail electrical, plumbing, walls, load bearing calculations, etc.

I am an engineer working 9-5 in San Jose, CA.

Currently I’m a project engineer for a heavy civil general contractor on the Big Island.I’ve been interested in real estate investing for a few years now but have yet to purchase my first investment property. 

(engineer in the HVAC realm.)

Of course that floor joist carried all the weight of the roof, transferring to downstairs wall, so we had to stop the job, get a structural engineer and have a fix done. 

I dont think anyone outside of the engineers know much about how the algorithm for that works.

That statement of his reignited the engine of my ambition once again.I called on many lenders,explaining them the opportunity at hand and how a little flexibility on their part can benefit us all.

Last week I had and engineer tell me he could not get the BluRay player to work. 

We will be living with my parents while we save up more, he gets a good job (he's a structural engineer here) and to help my parents out a bit.
