On Thursday begins Plan A, I’m gonna ask for a raise at my current W2 full-time software engineering job, and plan B, if that raise gets declined, I’ll ask to move my job WFH full-time to OR/WA, and if that fails, I start job searching for a WFH full-time software engineering job & also visit multifamily property in OR/WA.

After graduating from Virginia Tech with a BS in Civil Engineering in 2014, I currently work as a Project Engineer for a commercial construction management company but am looking to make a shift into real estate to achieve my ultimate goal of financial freedom.

One is B+/A- (~$200K and $1500 rent) and the others are C+/B-) $115K/$1K rent.I'm an engineer so my grading scale is harder than most which is why I gave the price and rent to try and give some context.

Are you able to have a structural engineer give you a report on what it would take to fix and go get bids from qualified foundation repair companies prior to purchasing it?

If there are signs of structural damage, the inspector may recommend you get a structural engineer to assess the property.Key points to inspect would be:- Foundation- Plumbing- Electrical system- Floors- Roof- Mechanical systems- Hazardous material - mold, asbestos, termite damage, etc.Best of luck to you moving forward!

@James Lord My grandpa was on the chemical engineering team that patented these!

I was in Civil Engineering, originally from Arlington TX. 

I'm a new member to the BP community. 27 year old engineer here in north Georgia looking to jump in (after learning a whole bunch) to the world of real estate investing.

The steps are generated using reverse engineering from the goal (degree), back to where you are now.What you need to do is the same thing with your REI education.
