Honestly, I still feel broke, My previous job 4-5 years back was 200kplus/yr (Subsea Engineer Offshore).

We will be looking into zoning, etc and consult engineers and architetcs to ensure it's a viable project in those other areas. 

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provides support for the property tax appeals process.

The model will seem like it will work, but what happens is that a small market shift tanks the entire algorithm in one month and then you can't sell anything.

In speaking with the building department's engineer, they informed me that in the event that the ADU has a separate address, it requires separate meters from PG&E. 

I'm definitely new and I don't have all the logistics planned out this is just the vision now I'm trying to backwards engineer and figure out my steps I thought my first step would be to househack a 4-Plex on an FHA loan and then graduate to six or 12 units and then move on to bigger properties most likely outside of Chicago to your point. right now I am very confused this is the second time someone has said that four unit is not like a six or 12 but I'm not really sure in what ways is it the underwriting is it the management is it literally every aspect of it.

Greetings,I am a recent Civil Engineering college graduate, and I am looking for advice on how to secure funding.The deal is located in FloridaI am currently in process of purchasing the Land for $18k free and clearI will be building an 1100 SQ/FT home construction cost will be around $130,000What are some ways I can secure funding as a 21-year-old inspiring developer? 

If you don't have sponsorship, by definition you don't have a deal - full stop. in some aspects, but but I'd argue in development you have to find land and partners at the same time. you have to have a competitive advantage and local knowledge. may not apply and probably different sectors. we break development up into multiple raises like Series A, Series B, etc in venture debt and discount equity tranches based on what stage the investor comes in for higher returns it's earlier like when we are investing in engineering services etc we recapitalize and spend our money with an equity sale and recapitalization. structured finance is so interesting 

I know a few people who are realtors in real life from BP and had a horrid experience with the BP lead engine. 

I was curious if any of these companies have a better algorithm factoring these nuances.
