I recently made the decision that my day job as an engineer is not what I want for the rest of my life, and with that I decided to take action in order to jump start my journey to financial freedom!

I feel like being an engineer is a curse sometimes as I went through the same phase.

I believe it is best practices for active landlords to do at least a weekly search on Zillow et al. in their market.The landlord is in a far better position then any algorithm to assess the similarities and differences between units.

For example, Zillow could make it real easy for someone to go online and list their home for a flat rate, or even adjustable rates with different "marketing plans", and all Zillow needs is "listing specialist" (could even be a program/algorithm) to go over the submitted listings. 

@Gilbert Dominguez is right, you'll need full architectural and engineering drawings, and you might need a structural engineer depending on what you are doing.

You will want to be working with an architect and structural engineer. 

one way to be sure of the extent of the problem is to bring in an engineer, they will give the best analysis of the situation and provide the scope of work to repair, then you can get an actual cost - neither the home inspector or the Contractor know the true work involved. you will spend a little money on the Engineer, but it's better than purchasing and finding out that neither one was right and it will cost you more than they figured.

Hey again BiggerPockets members,As I mentioned before I'm a starting investor from Israel, and I'm willing to invest in the United States,I was told here the first thing I should do is to open a bank account in the states, so I did.The story is I'm an engineer in Israel and my salary goes into a bank account in Israel.

I tried searching for recommendations for a Denver Civil Engineer, but the first 5 pages of results were not helpful.Thanks!

There are others like CLoud CMA too.I dislike those - especially those with automated value algorithms.
