Also, don't fill in the basement, unless a structural engineer deems it unusable.

I'm an 23 year old Electrical Engineer from Southern California trying to build my way to financial freedom.

I was a manager, supervisor, process engineer.

I am an engineer by profession and I love what I do but i also enjoy and love RE and everything about it.

I am gonna look to replace them with and engineered wood since this home is on a slab.

(white painted millwork, middle of the road stainless appliances, some engineered hardwood flooring, builder grade vinyl windows, etc).

I'm definitely trying to be cautious, hope to not fall into analysis paralysis (I have too much engineer in me).Thanks Ray very helpful.Jeff Barnes, I'll probably send you a PM when time to rollover.

I've always wanted to get into the real estate game, and I think now is as good a time as any to do so.I'm 23, graduated a year ago with an engineering degree and I have a great job.

I work for a Municipal Engineering company and deal with the issues created by storm water connections to the sanitary sewer system.

My rentals are in a couple of areas that people I work with (I'm a software/hardware engineer) might say they wouldn't go into.
