How many RE investors are Architects?

[Jason H.]

I will start off by disclaiming that I cannot take credit for the idea behind this post.  I recently read and responded to a post initiated by @Adam Zach surveying all members wanting to see who in the real estate investing world came from an engineering background.  I posted a reply mentioning that the ironic thing about this topic was that the group of people who should know THE MOST about real estate (minus the investing part) were architects!  And then went on to say that it was likely because of an architect’s (low) income versus an engineer’s which prevents architects from investing.  But then I gave it more thought, and what’s even more ironic is that...most architects are so preoccupied with their craft that they fail to see the what their clients are doing right under their noses...Developing buildings to make money!  I know there’s at least a couple of us out there...let’s represent!
