I know I can get them to look at the house but it will only be to the degree of what is above surface and they then make recommendations to have an engineering company ( duh :(] ). 

Degree in architectural engineering with construction and project management experience.I'm also interested in apartment ownership.

Yes, I am going to take the offer, because hopefully if we close, what we know with a fair degree of certainty what we make.

On this house it just spooks me to some degree.  

It's never too early, even if you are still working towards your degree.

I received my degree in finance and accounting from the University of South Florida prior to enlisting.  

Comps are only important to the degree they affect the numbers.

I've been a software developer for 17 years specializing in Microsoft technologies and have my BS degree in Information Systems.  15 years ago I started learning about RE investing from a co worker that was embarking on this journey, and I read books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cashflow Quandrant, Total Money Makeover, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and other various "motivational/self-help books".  

Little about myself- I was a mortgage broker in West Palm Beach FL for about 3yrs and got out to finish school here in Orlando @ the University of Central Florida with my finance degree.

I am a recent graduate of California State University of Fullerton where I obtained a B.S. degree in Political Science and American Studies.
