They are more sales than solutions IMO.Also be careful regarding the "structural engineer".

I am also negotiating a "Subject to" property with one of my existing clients.If you can get legs on the PM company (get to 200 to 300 units quickly), you should be able to have enough cash flow to be able to fund your purchases.If I were to do anything over, I would have quit my engineering job sooner and started in property management.  

Since you have a background in software engineering maybe this could be a gap in the market you could fill. 

Fees for new construction , between capitol connections , impact fees , environmental fees , engineering fees , etc  you CANT build AFFORDABLE housing .   

I've always been a bit of a "job hopper" and have worked in several different industries over the years (eg. healthcare, insurance, bartending, audio engineering, project management, adult corrections, and other security work).

With a "real" cost segregation study, it is signed by a licensed engineer who absolutely is a "qualified individual."

I graduate from the University of Utah in the spring with a mechanical engineering degree.

Sure the concept is good (search engines), but you backed the wrong horse.

Where I live in Incline Village new builds are 1500/sqft and that doesn't include the engineering and architect costs.

I am not an engineer, so please consult with an engineer or licensed GC in your area before proceeding, but this should be a fairly minor change that should be completed in under 1 day.
