I did the civil engineering on a senior living facility that just opened up last year on Lake Granbury. 

- I know electricity nearby for sure.

So now we have this ludicrous idea that everything, ever power producing whatever, is all going electric.

New Electric Busses.

I am not a structural engineer.

Where I lack understanding is at what point do you start making money for example you buy a duplex lets say it was 300k the monthly mortgage is 2,500 each renter pays 1,500 thatd 500 cash flow which is I guess “profit “ but as the landlord you're responsible for major repairs such as but not limited to roofs, plumbing issues, electrical issues that all can be expensive you would have to have money saved so that 500 cash flow is profit but wouldnt it just have to sit in a bank account? 

I think if we know what you want to achieve we can reverse engineer your ideal "path"@Justin Kane makes a really good point on the scalability of the larger MF game. 

Oh and I am an introverted, analytical, engineering guy so I can relate to your situation.So now that you hired an attorney - great.

I am currently a utility engineer making over 100k/ yr, should I consider pivoting into the developer or construction management space for experience?

And newer ones are made with Engineered Obsolescence.
