I am en engineer so I tend to overthink & overanalyze everything I do.

But the refi right now gives you the cash so you can keep your engine running full speed.

Plan to order a structural engineering study to determine if the house has sufficient foundation to add a couple rooms above the back. 

I'm looking specifically for trend lines.Would also love to find a site that allows you to reverse engineer city searches.

I am also a full-time software engineer and love building software.

I used my VA benefits to obtain my BS in Electronic Engineering Technology and I have been working in the defense industry for about 15 years now.Newish?

@Ayat Suleman start with the end and reverse engineer what that process looks like for you.That would help you get to that place that works best for you to invest in.Build out what that investment criteria looks like for you and that should help you game plan efficiently moving forward.Happy investing!

@Dado Vucak Just monkeyed around a little with our pricing engine and was able to pull up an option with a $650k first mortgage and a 70k second mortgage.

I am looking for a recommendation on a structural engineer in the Boston area.
