You're netting $5k/mo and have no cash available and you're working a civil engineering job?

If you get greedy and put #3 in front of #1 or #2 you can get burned like any other market. 

These fires are so hot even the steel structures melted and burned. 

Who Am I:Hi, I’m Daniel Carrillo, an industrial engineer from Seattle, WA.

A little about myself, I graduated from North Carolina A&t with a degree in Computer Engineering.

I’m a professional civil engineer with years of experience in construction and entrepreneurship.

Since you're familar with commerical development, most enginering firms, and attorneys work on both residential and commerical. 

No, DIY is not the same as a virtual site visit or a study done by engineers @Dana YobstAs @V.G Jason said, you could very likely cost yourself more in time and money.

I've seen many investors get burned because they failed to understand their hard money loan terms/rates, even if they did acquire what should have been a home run deal. 

We talked about an aggressive paydown at a rate of $5k for the next 6 months to make the deal sweeter for the next person, but renting it would be preferable to that I believe since I can get a higher return on smaller development projects at a burn rate like that.
