So you would suggest analyzing the deal and if it has potential, moving forward, reverse engineering the #s, and making an offer for the price it would work at?

In fact they have three cabins now and quit their job as a General Motors engineer.

Started at 43 in 2003, as a side income, I still work full time in Engineering Transportation. 

Usually, the transaction engineer gets cash from the owner to take over payments, and it is not uncommon for the owner to subsidize the monthly payment for an indefinite period of time.  

The engineer's I worked with used a product called Citrus Clean in ship engine rooms for cleaning greasy things, so I imagine that is similar to Orange Sol.

I'm looking for a Qualified licensed Structural Engineer herein Seattle, preferably in King county.

(You can also travel down US1 and be in Moore County in 15-20 minutes.)I work in tech remotely, started web design in high-school, didn't take the college path went to the school of hard knocks, now work as a support engineer at a major pharmaceutical earning just north of six figures.

@Josh TatsunoIn Tampa, if you are doing a “one for one” house renovation, meaning you are simply replacing items and not moving load bearing walls or structures… it is a couple of weeks.For more intricate remodels where engineering stamped plans are required, I’ve experienced 8-12 weeks myself.
