@Denise Cazares I recently attended a RE meetup where Dean Holland presented. Seemed very knowledgeable. The organizer of the Meetup who is successful uses and recommended Dean. I plan on reaching out myself in the coming days. Dean R. Holland Holland and Company,CPAs Naperville, IL Message me for email phone if you need it - can't post on discussions apparently. Also I just finished this book (Audible) and found it very informative: Loopholes of Real Estate - Secrets of Successful Real Estate Investing (Rich Dad Advisors) By: Garrett Sutton, Robert Kiyosaki (foreword) Best

Hi all, 

New to BP community and have noticed not many posts mention architects (say in contrast to CPA, legal, contractors, lenders, etc). I am a licensed architect and an aspiring investor (Chicago) and am using my background/knowledge of construction, design, problem solving, drafting plans/renderings, etc as a way to differentiate myself. I understand the rehab business is different from new construction but I'm still a little surprised about the lack of exposure I'm seeing. 

Which leads me to my question: do you use architects regularly in your projects and what value do they bring to your investments? Or put another way, how would you suggest an architect promote themselves on this site?

Curious what others think!
