Am I the first international member of BP.com?

[Arturo Fuentes]

Hi all! 

My name is Arturo. I was born in Michigan but raised in Mexico. I recently finished college, I majored in architecture. Throughout my studies I kept hearing this nightmare stories from professors and professional architects about the headache that is working with clients. I've always considered myself as someone that thinks outside the box and looks for the best way to do things. So I began to think "How to avoid working with a client, but still be able to design and get involved in the kind of projects that I want?". That's when I discovered this great but antagonist (at least to some architects) world of real estate. 

I've been working now for over a year on my first personal project as a developer. The more I read about real estate and RE development, the more I get excited about it!

Anyway, I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself to the community. I hope that anyone can benefit from the insight that a (foreign) architect can provide.

Best,

Arturo
