One is a finance guy, the other a aerospace engineer, both looking in the near $1 million dollar range.

I'm a Junior in college at the University of Michigan studying engineering.

This house is a Jim Walters Home, an engineered kit/shell house that's overbuilt in many ways. 

I would, at least in theory, have several years for my income and/or assets to increase, while the bank would carry zero default risk for at least several years.It's sort of financial engineering, but lots of companies use the exact same strategy with unsecured high interest borrowings.

Your cost to design will be spread over 5 builds, so something like an engineered steel or SIP (structurally insulated panel) method may be more economical than it would be for one-off builds.

However, in Baltimore the building reviewer has told me that the structural engineer of record has to provide the site observation and reports.

I have 13 years experience in residential construction and currently working for an engineering firm dealing with large multi-family buildings.

The precarious saucer home was constructed when an aerospace engineer, Leonard Malin, was gifted the severely sloped plot of land from his father-in-law (see, this is what fathers-in-law gift unwanted sons-in-law).

I am an engineer located on the Space Coast of Florida (Cocoa Beach/Melbourne/Brevard County) and am currently in the educational phase, as I am new to the real estate investing world.

I've seen companies lay off thousands of engineers and programmers at a time, but no one walks away from infrastructure.Amazon announced three more centers in Las Vegas.
