Ironically enough, the piece you are missing I think is one of the easier pieces to get, albeit you need 2 years of experience with a sales license prior to getting your broker license. 

I want to convert my old cast iron tub into a stand up shower in a 1-bedroom unit.

Ironically, I purchased it from a successful REI.

That’s ironic since it is the single thing that could bring them financial ruin.Owners are responsible for providing a safe accommodation.  

Yes the motors are loud and my lower back has it's share of miseries, I latched iron in the derrick. 

I am now trying to iron out the details. 

There's never been an HOA in the history of HOAs that lets engineers DIY fixes in condo buildings.The good news is that CAN chop a 4-in. cast iron stack these days with minimal clearances.

If there are enough people, we can iron out the details.

Hanging in there through the knob and tube, lead paint, and failing cast iron plumbing (etc.) is the hardest part! 

I had too many irons in the fire and need to borrow some money.
