I'm great at math and almost went into engineering or architecture, but decided engineering wasn't for me either.

All of this work is being done while consulting with a licensed structural engineer. 

Keep in mind, this wasn't an overnight thing, to get such high conversation rates.It was about 10 years of historical data analysis, before we figured out characteristics on how these assets perform over time, before we were able to dial in our model.But after that, we just run our proprietary algorithm on the entire tax sale pool each year, and compare the profile of the new pool, to prior years pool profiles.And from that, it results in two pools of tax certs that we invest in, which don't overlap.One group of tax certs that we only buy for high interest yield, and the other is only for us to take ownership of the property.And because we have this targeted approach to purchasing, is how we get the numbers we get.

I am planning to move to British Columbia once I graduate Civil Engineering (major:tbd).

Since I would need time to draw up the plans then get engineering then get permits before being able to start the build, don't want to waste interest during those "waiting" periods.

I didn't really understand how a structural engineer makes their money until I needed to hire one, and that helped me in the hiring process of one.

I also have a degree in audio engineering so if you ever have any recording questions that you can’t find the answer to on google feel free to reach out, I would be happy to help. 

If you are, then you have to weigh that out also from a timing perspective, as any structural work: like removing a wall or doing a new layout for the home will require structural reviews and a planning phase with city engineers (which will add more time to your project in the permit phase). 

In a more modern home you'll see laminate and engineered flooring come apart and any particle board or MDF construction start to flex and warp.

my first year I did 3 BRRRR's out of state while working a full time engineering job.
