If you are investing in single family real estate, then you know that rent payments are the cash-flow engine of your investment.

-Sending out about 500 mailers a week to target areas (specifically people who bought their homes over 20 years ago)-Reworking my website-Created a feeder website to rank higher on search engines-Tried putting out bandit signs but got a ticket.

What I'm attempting to indicate in most areas this is a time cnsuming, costly project with engineering study requirements in most area.

Need to specify exactly what the deal is.Any professional organization (company, business entity) that requires a professional license, from what I have ever seen, requires all to hold that license, an engineering company must have all engineers, a beauty shop must have owners as beauticians, a law firm made up of lawyers.

I don't think i'll ever get rid of that mustang, I just put a new engine in it last year because of a rod knock.

Be a transaction engineer like Brian Gibbons.

So I've come up with another scheme to get us started in the meantime...Background:I'm a full-time engineer and am also a fishing guide and woodworker on the side.

I was hoping someone could help out by recommending a civil engineering firm.

My only strength is that I am a Civil engineer and I work for a local municipality in California doing development review and permitting, so I know that side of things, and I worked for a consulting engineering firm for a few years before that, so I know how to design and process subdivisions and developments from an engineering standpoint, but that doesn't really help me with the networking / deal finding deals side of things.  

I work as a software engineer in a pretty stable company so I'm not super concerned with losing my job.
