Knowledge is power, so don't rush into anything without knowing you have a firm grasp on the opportunities you want to partake in!

Originally from Springfield, Missouri, but moved to Arizona for my Master's degree in hydrology, I am currently working as a hydrologist for a water resources engineering firm in Tempe.My current goals in real estate are to start out by BRRRRing SFHs, work up to BRRRRs for small multifamily properties, and eventually get into larger multifamily investing.

I suppose I could make them pay, but it's an insignificant expense by that point and almost always unnecessary.I firmly believe this is easier to do in long-term C'class SFR than in other properties.

@Elizabeth Pare - I run a design build firm and I've been through the process of hiring in house crews, and the outcome of that.I'd be happy to speak with you about the growth process.

As an investor and a financial expert, you know that when a new house is built, dozens of small firms are involved, so this report is very important to gauge the housing market.

So if it's not a firm yes, it's probably a no.Will follow this post; good luck.

At the same time, it will be expensive to go to an engineering firm at this stage.

When it came to negotiating we were very firm but fair on the price and had disclosed a foundation report prior to the offer.

Each one I speak with makes their firm sound like the best of course.
