@Yitzchok Carmen  It's possible that VRBO's algorithm favored Evolve's host status versus your new private one and thus you are falling further down the list of search results. 

Just suppose you engineered a deal that gave you 100% leverage with possession and time to assign?

@Brad Haughton  Although not in the same domain, there is a design principle called "Separation of concern" in the world of software engineering.

But an architect and/or engineer is going to be your safest bet.  

Knowing that 203K is slow to pay out sums I would use my own money and just get reimbursed by the bank so it moves faster* Buy a fix upper using a hard money loan and then do the BRRRR method knowing I have never done any substantial rehab but I do understand how to manage contractors since I am a Civil Engineer and work with them on a daily basis.   

I've done my due dil with search engines, but I was wondering if some smaller players could be more attractive and not necessarily visible on the web. 

Neighborhood data is computed using a propitiatory imputation algorithm on ACS data since the ACS does not provide data tabulated by neighborhood.Hope this helps - Art 

The next step is to put a deposit down ($6K) with the contractor to kick off design, engineering plans for permitting, and financing.

Once you have the education, you can become a "transaction engineer."

As a civil engineer with a concentration in transportation, I am trying to understand how others have used their Professional Engineers License to benefit their personal real estate ventures.
