I have a background and education in Construction Engineering and worked in commercial construction for the better part of a decade while I was investing in residential real estate on the side.I've been in brokerage as a real estate advisor for the past 4+ years full time and I specialize in 2-4 unit residential multifamily which accounts for half of what I do (about 2 or 3 multifamily deals a month) and the other half consist of single family homes and condos.I grew up in San Diego and its all I know, I got my undergrad in Construction Engineering and Graduate degree in Business locally also.I am a big fan of starting off investing locally with low money down and that is how I personally started myself...I read a ton of books and listened to countless hours of podcasts but all the magic happened when I stopped reading and listening and started taking action.Welcome and feel free to send me a private message if you want to chat.

I have been into real estate for over 10 years now while working as an engineer.

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provides support for the property tax appeals process.Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.A Cost Segregation study is an IRS approved federal income tax tool that increases near term cash flow by utilizing shorter recovery periods for depreciation to accelerate return on investment.

My concern is my full time job and my masters in computer engineering and juggling that with the newborn.

I am not a computer engineer but it seems like it would be easy to toggle some popular amenities to segregate out the comps and get different projections, for example.

Have you looked into extended stay STR for 31 days and over for corporate rentals and people on short term assignments and contracts such as engineers, doctors, nurses, etc. that travel and stay for 3, 6 or 12 months only? 

Got my license in 2017, sold 1 deal, then bailed on it. worked 2 years as an engineer and decided to give RE a try again. many months later received a commission check and believed in the process. year after that bought my first house hack and went from there...

These examples were both smart people mind you (one an engineer, the other a doctor).
