By self-remodel, I mean, I am not a designer/engineer/builder/etc... by trade.

I am an engineer and young investor currently I have 4 doors in Trenton and Ewing NJ area, My question today is, I have a duplex, that is on the big lot, (10+ car parking lot) and I am working with an architect and the Zoning officer planning to add to 3 - 4 more units on this lot.

My engineering career brought me here from Columbus, OH.

Almost every single engineering professor I had was there for one reason, research.

Jake is also a Civil Engineer, we’re not sure how that will tie in yet but surely can help in the future.

Ive been interested in Real Estate for as long as I can remember, but always watched from the sidelines.I started to listed to BP podcasts religiously over the last few months and it completely changed my outlook on what I want from my life - for me and my family.A little background on me: I have worked in the consulting world for the last 10 years as an engineer and MBA.

They are requesting the engineered tie down design.

Eventually, I’d like to expand to other types of properties and markets, but I think getting that first property will build the momentum and spark the fire to keep going, instead of being stuck in perpetual analysis paralysis.A bit about me - I’m a software engineer by profession but deep down, I don’t have a true passion for tech so I would want to eventually transition out and focus on real estate full time (of course, this will be much later down the line).With these crazy COVID times, it’s hard to get out and actually attend meetups and get to know people in person, so I’d like to connect and get to know some other folks local to the SD area and even beyond!

I work as a Software Engineer in San Francisco and my main goal is to gain financial independence through investing.

I’m in the process of trying to reverse-engineer my financial freedom number - starting with a goal of making X dollars per year, then figuring out how many rentals or flips or wholesale deals to reach that number.
