I’ve had a few bids for professional treatment at around $3,900 or $325/unit.

My name is Rachael and I'm a corporate insurance professional and a fairly new investor in the Spring Branch, TX area.

Looks like a good project all around but you certainly need to present it professionally to get this kind of dough from someone especially if you haven't done this before. 

However I kept the units small and included them in the ammenities of the units as an additional selling feature. 

For example, does the ad highlight the main features, schools, walk score (walkscore.com)?

Securities regulation compliance, transparency, investor vetting, professional competition from well financed competitors to name a few.  

It is funny that we are all IT professionals looking for an out by becoming a REI.  

I recently obtained my PE (Professional Engineering) license and I was wondering if there are any PE's out there who were able to leverage their license for real estate investing.I would love to hear any thoughts on this.

And experienced flippers, for the most part, know this and don't incorporate features that limit their buyer pool.  

@Jeff Burdick, thanks for responding, I would love to connect, I am really passionate about getting in REI, and I would like to start my first deal Right now, I am not an expert nor professional but I have gathered and learned so much that I feel confident diving in, AND I can learn more and more as I swim in deeper
