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.

I am an engineer by trade and am very handy when it comes to household things.

David and Kristopher This is like the The Architects BP Collaborative;-) Long ago, I also started in Architecture and learned quickly that there was one Architect (with overall responsibility) on the job making $30k and 8 different discipline Engineers making $40k.
