I just graduated from college with a degree in Engineering Physics.

There are some skills that I suggest every homeowner learns in order to avoid high repair bills (in order I usually do them):-Fix minor roof leaks & repair siding/exterior-Fix water supply leaks with compression fittings or hose clamps if needed-Install lights, replace bad receptacles, switches, or breakers-Install electric water heater if needed-Fix subfloor & sturdy up framing if needed-Fix/replace windows/doors/glass and install locks-Drywall/mud, brush&roll paint-Install floor (floating/tile) and cut/install trim-Install toilets/sinks/cabinets/faucets-install mini split units if no functioning ductwork

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.
