Ga Tech, in my opinion, is one of the top school in the south east region and attracts the best and brightest (ie engineering) students.

Sites like Accredify offer to screen people for you using their own algorithms, but it remains to be seen if people will actually use this service because of security concerns, etc.If one were to use this Accredify or some other site-based screening process AND have the potential investor sign a subscription agreement where they certify they're accredited like a standard Regulation D has do you think that would pass the reasonableness test?

After high school I enlisted in the Air Force and spent over 8 years in the Civil Engineering Service, mainly working on heating and air conditioning systems but volunteering for any open classes I could attend.

With respect to the bowing wall, my suggestion would be to speak with an engineer to determine if beams were needed, and if so, to determine if excavation is needed.As for your question about the offer, I would incorporate the cost of drain tile into the offer, and if an engineer said beaming was needed (or excavation), I would incorporate that as well.

The list price is 165K and I am currently waiting for an inspector and license engineer to take a look at it.

I would think a consultant would be more independent, marketing services to the general public in certain areas of consultation.An architect or engineer would be a consultant.There are many areas of professional practice in real estate, accounting, economics, law, engineering, finance, marketing and management, enviornmental and physical sciences, geology, hydrology and more I'm sure.

I'm a full time engineer at the moment, and looking to get into Multi-Family rentals.

Don't get caught up in the engineering side of a deal.Make your offer.Get an acceptance.Tell escrow the terms and your buyer's name.Let them figure it all out and mail you a check when the dust settles.Cash your check and keep looking for more deals.It REALLY is that easy.
