They will adjust the plans as well as coordinate for structural engineering review. 

By aligning projects with non-profit initiatives, I've discovered collaborative opportunities that not only generate economic returns but also foster social progress.Philanthropy serves as a powerful engine for economic revitalization, job creation, and sustainable growth.

I got a structural engineer to look at the house and he said I would need to take out the floors from the top down redoing all the floors and most of the crawlspace and that would likely cost about 20k.

Think of your rental as a money generating engine… every month it is rented it kicks out $1600 for you.  

The basic steps would be: 1) Buy Land- (up front cost) make sure you can build what you want ahead of time by talking with an experienced engineer/architect familiar with local codes and regulations.

I have been acquiring and self managing for about 15 years.I worked myself out of need for my day job as an engineer about 4 years ago and it has been great!

However the repairs he is asking for include hiring a structural engineer because he believes the foundation is crumbling. 

Renting to students in majors that are study intensive (STEM) can cut down on the damage and engineers like to fix things.

Some of those building had extreme structural damage that would need to be identified by an engineer or architect. 

My environmental engineer put the cost at $3500.
