A nearby city with a lot of highly paid engineers.

We do engineer hardwood and no Lux viynl like our competitors So all these things probably cost me 25k pre house but we have been selling them for 100k higher than Lennar for same sq ft and have created the highest priced development in town. we are approaching 400 a foot for finished product which was unheard of in Canby Oregon.U can see the homes and the finishs if you go to  Ivyridgeestatescanby  dot com. 

I also have masters degrees in both engineering and finance.

Hi BiggerPockets community,We are a married couple based in the California Bay Area, both working as software engineers with a combined income of close to a Million USD.

Quote from @Fakaradin Floyd: Hey everyone, I'm a 24 year old Software engineer that's always wanted to get into real estate, I graduated college about a year and a half ago and wanted to hit the ground running when graduated.

The surveyors and engineers have been helpful. 

Make sure utilities are available, and that you have tap fees included in your estimate, as well as engineering (site plan), architectural plan, and other bits you might need to consider for your market (landscaping and costs of sale, for example).

Definitely get the structural engineer to look at the joists & support beams to see what's up with the uneven floors.

I would say certainly within a month.This is your opportubnity to call in a soils engineer and make sure this does not happen again.

And if they are a hobbyist/part-time builder, then they should engage the proper professionals, i.e. a title officer, civil engineer, architect, contractor et al to assist in reviewing the project's feasibility.
