foreign-based freelance architects

[David Jiang]

Does anyone here have experience hiring architects based in other countries through services like Fiverr? I'm in Northern California and my two local architects are usually backed up 3 months. While they're great for large construction projects and/or SB9 splits, I sometimes come across very straight forward flips that I just need a simple 2-pager plan drawn up. I'm wondering if freelancers found on Fiverr and other similar sites are capable of drawing up plans that can pass local Planning & Building review? Is there anything I should watch out for or be aware of when going this path? Thanks!
