The MEP engineer assumed a gas oven was required, but after confirming with the restaurateur that electric was acceptable, we switched to an electric setup. 

I used a perfectly good calculator and a perfectly good search engine (Google) that both how your numbers (that you never indicated the source) to be bogus just like your logic that because you failed in RE (unleveraged which makes your case different than virtually all RE investors) that no one can succeed in RE (RE will make you poor).

Anybody done any engineering on a planned community/subdivision.And as part of that ask, has anybody looked into one of these Crystal Lagoons? 

Renovations, such as upgrading common areas, adding amenities, and improving unit interiors, can be costly, so it's crucial to determine the expenses before acquiring the property.Seeking the help of a construction professional is recommended to create a comprehensive budget that includes hard costs (materials, labor), soft costs (architectural and engineering fees), and contingencies for unexpected expenses.

Nationally I think there is a lot more fraud overall, not only rental applciations but loan applications, social engineering scam with emails etc.

Now you may have to get it rezoned , this may take a year or two and you have to fight some neighbors , then you hire an engineer to lay out the lots , roads , water and sewer , which isnt cheap and may take another year or two .

Hey Grant, glad to see there are some other people around my age in the area, I'm 23, just graduated college from Iowa State in Mechanical Engineering.

Others go with a reputable remote firm, which can sometimes be more cost-friendly and still deliver high-quality engineering studies.

And when you mention the word wetlands, that adds more complexity and delays.What would the engineer be for?

These methods include reverse engineering the loan amount (like that is even remotely reliable?!).
