If your intention is to add a second floor....it can be done but one of many tripping points is the foundation....if it was designed/engineered to support one story with live loads, it might not have enough strength to support the second floor. 

Hi: I have been asked by the City to provide a plan and profile through our P.E. for a new construction of a 2500 sf single storey building on a 8000 sf lot. Anyone has done this before? Any cost estimate from your ow...

I was presented with and investing opportunity called Reverse Close through a transaction engineer at on of the local REI meetup.

That said, I'll still bring in specialty contractors/engineers when there's something beyond my level of knowledge -- but never a general inspector.  

(contract engineering is important to meet intended goals and beyond)Ideas -----offer 100% principal mortgage, $1,000 a month until paid (that is a mortgage without interest) ---- The interesting thing about this is that an investor can sell the property subject to the existing interest free fully assumable mortgage and charge an interest to the buyer on money that is owed.

I am a 22 years old full time student majoring Mechanical Engineering in Michigan, Kalamazoo.

I am a human algorithm in my specialty areas. 

My plan was to study computer science or software engineering, because it would help me find a "good job" with a "stable salary", and to do French because I genuinely love it.

In my area all foundations need to be engineered, depending on where in the valley we build the foundation costs could be $30,000 to $100,000 K. 

I am 56 years old and am a senior advisor software engineer (computer programmer).
