Check out Leo with Beryl Engineering hes a structural engineer with a massive team doing 1,200 inspections last year.

I'm a Software Engineer and I have a pretty good job where I make good money, but with a big paycheck there are also big expenses.

Though a full time engineer job in the bay area pays not bad, the pressure (work-related pressure, living cost and sky-high taxes) and huge uncertainty of the hi-tech industry continuously urge me to search for alternative incomes.Yet, it is prohibitively expensive to invest near the Silicon Valley.

I am an engineer by background FYI

I had the privilege of growing up on a farm and am now a mechanical engineer.

My day job is as a sales engineer for a company that designs and builds custom-engineered material handling equipment for manufacturers.

If you've worked with any good mortgage lenders (conventional financing), home inspectors, structural engineers, real estate attorneys, and/or contractors in or around the South Bronx area that you'd recommend, we'd love to hear from you! 

I am a trained Civil Engineer and GC my own projects.

We got a structural engineer to estimate the extent of the damage and then a basement contractor to bid the job.  

Maybe look into a project engineer position with a large general contractor in the special projects (smaller sized projects) division.
