I did involve an engineer who saw the property with me the other day, but so far he hasn't provided me anything conclusive to act on.

Say I talk Joe Engineer downtown into lending money through his RRSP.

@Trevor Burns Mobile tends to have a lot more turnover.

Our other contractors (plumber, HVAC, painter, floor refinisher, etc.) continue to provide good service, and are what make running 22 apartments while working a full time engineering job at a major company possible.

Even with 2x security deposit, i still got burned.

I will be working from home providing live captioning for various events, and my partner has a background in mechanical engineering and aerospace.  

Why someone with an inheritance of that amount and no job would want to burn through it renting a house is beyond me.

I am an engineer from the Silicon Valley in California.

I got married a week after we bought the house and jumped right into it after our brief 4 day ‘mini-moon’ on the Oregon coast.Since it’s the first thing everyone want’s to know; Here are the numbers:Home Specs:Before – 2 Bed, 1 Bath; After - 4 bed, 3.5 bathPurchase Price of House: $365,438Total Rehab Costs (incl. architect, engineer, & permitting): $336,888Soft Costs/Holding Costs: $8,774Total Purchase and Project Costs: $711,100Final Sale Price of House ($55K over asking): $885,000Realtor Fees: $42,038Gross Profit for Project: $131,863Funding Source: Private LenderThe duration of the project from acquisition to design, land use review, historic committee, construction and final sale was just over 13 months.I’m going to chalk this one up as a WIN.

Was burning out on the business.
