I have a bachelor of science in aeronautical engineering with a minor in finance, I have a masters in finance, an MBA and I sat for and passed my CPA exam.

Aspects such as estoppel letters, engineering reports and environmental issues are in greater depth than a standard PA.

You will have to submit plans, engineer stamped usually, for the work that was done, meeting building codes, apply for the permit, correct whatever work is not to code, then have it inspected.

I was a a REIA meeting and a structural engineer was speaking.

A lot can be learned just from the posts and learning material, and I thank you all for that.Early in my 20's, I considered real estate to be a good career, but ended up with an engineering degree and currently work in the energy sector.

and what are you doing for a living now.Electrical & Computer Engineering here.. and 100% full time real estate.

Lurked for some time, joined today.Mechanical Engineering / Physics / MBA background, got into rentals in 2010 with a duplex.

I'll try to be brief.I was shown a house and the MLS remarks had a city project id, there was an assessment and the payment to the buyer from the city for replacing a retaining wall and fence.My buyer's agent called the listing agent, who casually explained that it was a little utility work and sent a URL to some newsletters the county sent out several years ago when they were voting for the project.I called the city and talked to someone in the engineering project to see what was up.

While I was working my full-time day job I was attending a local college, 4 nights a week, studying Architectural Building Engineering, i.e. learning how to design residential homes.

I'm 24 years old and have a full-time job in engineering.
