Professionally, I have a mechanical engineering degree and work in the commercial HVAC construction industry in Houston.

I am a Mechanical Engineer by training.

Hi, looking for an architect/engineer/skilled contractor for:1) MEP drawings for a city-approved conversion from a SFH to a duplex.

Study something like computer science, engineering etc.

I guess I'm the yin to your yang: I don't think most people should jump in to REI unless they already have a robust stock portfolio providing substantial dividends and/or vast cash reserves so they can afford to dig themselves out when a sewage line clogs, a deranged tenant trashes a unit and has to be evicted, they miscalculate the ARV by more than their profit margin because they forgot to double their back of the napkin rehab budget, tariffs cause the price of lumber to double during permitting, or something expensive and unexpected inevitably goes wrong.

It offers some more robust PM services than Cozy but it is more complicated to use.

But depending on what they find, you can get much more specialized with radon, stucco, plumbing scoping, structural engineering , etc. but hopefully the home inspector can eliminate the need for most of that - or at least give you the information to make an informed decision.

My wife and I are from Western Ohio, but we are currently located in Auckland, New Zealand for my job (Software Engineer).My wife and I have had one adventure in real estate, where we purchased our first house out of college for $46k, rehabbed it over 5 years, and then sold it for $180k, profiting approximately $60k.

And the Buyers agent asked for us to pay for a structural engineer to come in and "evaluate these items" Including a transition area that just needs a threshold.

@Rawn WilsonI would engage a civil engineer in the area that is familiar with the local jurisdiction and help provide solutions.
