If you have a signed and stamped structural approval from a state licensed professional engineer (PE) that the structure is sound...then you should be all clear because you'd be able to hold the engineer liable if something did come up as being wrong.

Now I'm seeing projections ranging from 350-550 based both on technical analysis and projected P/E ratios.A couple of things to think about:1954 was the year the Dow made a new high from the 1929 crash.Japan's stock market just made a 25 year low.

I can think of at least three huge (10 figure funds) RE PE shops off the top of my head that would be clamoring for this, since the made their names in '09-15 crushing it in the distressed debt space, but haven't had lots of success in the past five years. 

Hi everyone:I'm looking at a 5-unit property in upstate New York and looking for a PE to assess the structural integrity of the building.

Simple question for those of you more entrenched in the real estate world.Im a civil engineer, and i work for large developers and REITs in NYC. However, im a couple years away from getting my professional engineering...

I liken it to buying a stock solely based on the P/E ratio.

I live in Ventura, have been teaching elementary PE for 10 years, and am interested in getting into real estate investing on the side. 

I went with a generic sounding s-corp with 2 names like the PE and fin svc co's do (Berkshire Hathaway,  Merryll Lymch) and(we are near the Cascade Mtns, so i put Cascade in the 2nd name). 

I would probably add $1000-2000 into my long term dividend stock portfolio (if one happens to have a really good price dip or low P/E), and then finally put the rest towards the one rental mortgage I am focusing all extra rent on paying off first.

What does the foundation contractor or licensed structure engineer (PE) report says?
