To develop yourself you would need a good real estate attorney that is familiar with construction contracts & lending, an architect, engineer, GC, and a construction manager.

One thing I explain to them is that we write for the people, not for the search engines.

The Little Engine that Could    

That is how you would reverse engineer your investment goal.  

Learning to be an "transaction engineer" is priceless!

@Tyler FlaggI'm in the AF as well, currently stationed at Hanscom AFB as an engineer (62E).

It seems like you may be trying to "reverse-engineer" whether the previous owners decision to have 3 sets of machines was the sensible solution.  

Through this process, I have realized that there are a number of decent properties out there that need just minor work done and they would return a pretty good profit.I've got a background in mechanical engineering and have a lot of experience in project management and home improvement, so I think that experience would translate well in this field.Looking forward to gleaning some of your wisdom from this site!

So I stepped aside my ambitions for a bit to continue my pursuit of a civil engineering degree and be a stay at home dad as my wife has pursued her dream carreer after I left the military.

Problem I'm having is not knowing the inner/engine wholesaling detail process.
