I am a civil engineer by background and I currently work for a consulting company based Tampa, FL.

As @Richard Dale-Mesaros points out, It's tough to know who to talk to first.I've been a software engineer for a long time.

I have a project management background, and have a small bit of experience as a landlord, but want to know how how feasible flipping houses would be while still maintaining my day job as an engineer?

My husband should be able to quit his FT job as a software engineer at the end of this year and we will have successfully replaced his income with our investments. 

We have great engineering jobs and a growing urban area of about 450-500k people.

I live and work in the Boulder area as an engineer, and I know that in my industry I am limited to living in areas where rents and demand are high.

Caleb keep in mind those really cheap insurance policies are not that robust.. were they fall down is when you have a claim. you do get what U pay for. and unless your experienced filing insurance claims you dont realize it until your in the middle of it.and keep in mind sellers of homes always quote the lowest insurance that can be bought to make proforma's look the best they can.So in the Paradise fire in CA.. ( granted catastrophic) a few of the smaller ( read cheap) companies have already BK d and will not be paying any claims.. no money.. those with the nationals are fine. 

I wish I would have pursued this idea early, but hindsight is always 20-20.Anyway, I will be moving down to Victoria, TX (greater metro population ~110,000) at the beginning of June to begin an engineering job.

Like any skill, whether it is in sports, engineering, the arts, etc..., you need to learn the basics.You can learn a lot of the basics here, but one of the most important elements of any "basics", it to understand not just what they are...but what they mean.We live in a society of instant gratification. 

(My father was a high school drop out...got his GED and I went to his graduation at Penn State in Engineering when I was about 12).
