My local REI buddy called today.  

I have called the office number dozens of times, but it always seems to be busy.

The thing that got me considering this model and actually scaling it was a call I got from a friend.

I've heard very mixed opinions so really unsure about them but definitely interested.  

Would that be, for example, if the PM says, "I manage a duplex for John Smith in Turlock," then I call John as a reference, ask John a few questions, and then ask John the address of his duplex so I can later look it up on the county website and verify if he is the owner?

I wear a few hats as a realtor, property manager, STR host and project manager so if you'd like to chat about any or all of those services, I'd be glad to schedule a call!

This includes all structural drawings, exterior drawings, framing plan, mechanical plans, plumbing plans, electrical plans, gas line plans, roof layout plan.I tried to work with a couple of firms and the pricing for all these came all over the places.I also came across a company called flip16.com (September Development, LLC)  who said they can do all of the civil engineering and architectural drawings work at a fraction of the price compared to those civil engineering and architectural firms.

so if you don't have a lot of money, then you'll have to save some up.hope this helps

Sometimes I'll tell a serious story or a not so serious one. 

There are no upfront costs so why not establish a relationship with someone who actively represents real estate investors and move forward with vetting your ideas.Best.
