I actually have a skill set applicable (not saying you don't), I graduated in ME, but am more of an architectural engineer now.

Trust me @Ryan Dossey its a lot harder then it look to find a seasoned investor even with my set of skills ( I am a project manager for a design company and have a degree in architecture) but i am going to my first REIA soon so i can start networking and get the ball rolling. 

BP doesn’t let me give it out in the forum because it goes to my architecture website.

You miss out on the legal side, creating the general plans, architectural, working with the civil engineers, dealing with the banks, dealing with planning and zoning, the brain damage you have to incur at city and county commission meetings, dealing with the nimby types, and this list isn't anywhere near a complete list of preconstruction planning.It's great experience to have and i'd highly recommend learning it on someone else's dime.

--I am a former architect, but then was a stay-at-home mom for the last 20 years (I've done a lot of small jobs on the side for myself and friends, but I only know how to hand-draft; now-a-days you need to be proficient in two or three CAD programs to get a job in an architecture firm!)

Prior to RE development, I worked in architecture and construction in New York and Philadelphia, so I guess I've been involved in some aspect of the RE industry for 6+ years.I'm interested in buy and hold investing and house hacking (for now), and ideally would like to be doing this while continuing to work my current job full time. 

Mid century modern architecturally designed two storys, offices, full service detail, oil changes and even a chef inside making steak sandwiches.

There were a lot of low hanging architectural soffets to remove. 

Also this building is LEED gold, currently leased to an architecture firm.

I've been thinking about Panorama City lately.
