Was a licensed engineer involved to design to repairs?

I’ve been learning about the industry / different regional markets for the past few years and am eager to execute my first deal in the near term and continue growing through this community.My primary goal is to purchase a property I can live in while generating rental income (e.g., a single-family home with a tiny house, a duplex, or a single-family property where I can install a tiny house).

Is anyone doing this currently?

Quote from @Stephanie Lopez: Hola Everyone 👋 I just joined this forum in hopes to gain more insight in real estate investing.

I rent and really have no desire to purchase in the city because it would be a downgrade of space/neighborhood.

This means the 50% rule fails now (50% + 60% = 110% --- 10% more in costs than rent), and other cost estimate methodologies seem to yield negative net cash flow.Am I thinking about this correctly?

It's been months since I started using this platform.

We paid this guy $12,000 in August and he was able to do some demolition but according to him, his crew got arrested and he had other projects at the same time and he took about 2 months to finally reply to us and tell us he would finish the demolition and install a new roof (which was the quote he gave us for those 2 things).

I love the BRRRR method, having scaled my real estate portfolio from just 2 units to 18 in 12 months (From 2 units to 18 Units in 12 Months), and later from 18 to 60 units in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic (18 to 60 Units During the First 9 Months of the COVID-19 Pandemic).

I have been seriously looking into real estate and I am by no means tied down to this city and I was looking for some advice on the best avenue to take for my first purchase.
