There are very few contractors I would trust to value engineer and go to for design advice.

I'm a mechanical engineer full-time and enjoy my job but realize that real estate is a solid investment vehicle if done properly... 

Reverse engineer the goal based on a timeline.  

I have very minimal experience doing work but do have some background in project management/civil engineering but honestly that seems daunting.

New guy here - 34 years old and I've been working as a Mechanical Engineer for 12 years. 

I've been vetting deals lately for private equity consideration and notice the due diligence files number between 150-250 (many legal, accounting, civil engineering).

Based on it being fire damage and the section of the home is blocked off, you might be better off having a structural engineer or architect take a look at it before a GC to determine if there is structural damage.

I suggest you do the reverse-engineering on BP and search BP for prior posts on PM for MHP company in your area.
