Question: I'm deciding between going back to school for either architectural technology or structural engineering as a background to help me in my flips.

If that is the preferred method does anyone have a contact for someone near Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. 

Huge value add by implementing these technologies. 

I work as a lead product manager at Lumen technologies. 

It will affect how you set your pricing, setup your business processes and what technology you will purchase.Good luck

How it was handled is messy, poor docs, potential fraud from owner forging end buyer signature without consent, no paydown financial logs(amortiz table) on the REC since there was no escrow company involved so the payments were going in direct to seller account who was not paying property taxes and the tenant is getting burned on this deal.(2)The contract almost non existent or sketchy at best.

Technology has made it easier to self-manage.5.

It's nasty, it's ugly, but the material and the technology have been proven since 1945 in sanitary systems.

I live here and even in 2007-2009 times Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge was always busy and always crowded.

I'd check Storage Rebellion, you're going to need to invest a bit into technology and compatible hardware.
