With a pre-engineer estimated repair cost in the 300K range.

I have an engineering background.

Thanks, Matt Not sure on all of the math, but after reading it, i pegged you for an engineer...And then went back to your profile and man was I way off!!

I've used the same civil engineer for a bunch of stuff, so he's probably giving me a good deal, but not half off!

I am mostly helping them by way of providing financial analysis and I can definitely make a mean spreadsheet; perhaps not that surprising considering that my college studies were in engineering!

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.
