My name is Manuel, I am a new RE investor and an engineer working in energy efficiency and sustainability sector, and I am more than excited to be part of this community.

I have a degree in engineering, an MBA, and a certificate in construction management from Turner Construction. 

I have the expertise to research various zoning, code and site development requirements but also can completed design drawings, coordinate engineers and submit to the municipality for construction permits under my own license.

I'm planning to have a structural engineer to create architectural as-built floor plans for a 2 story mixed use building I own in California.

Lenders want to know if both have stone countertops, jets bath, hardwood flooring but does not care it is engineering or gleam wood flooring …..

I was in similar shoes, I was in engineering as a major, switched tracks completely cause it was not at all what I wanted to do.

Currently I'm a systems engineer for a local IoT startup, but I've realized through the years that trading time for money is no longer part of my future plans. 

If not, then there may be a bug in the BP algorithm.

Planning new construction and the Architect gave me a quote for $4,500 and Structural Engineer $,3000.

I work at a large engineering firm making around $64,000/year; I’ve saved up for a couple of years now and have around 40k in savings.
