Steve S. , great question Daria B. , great app! Thank you. Anyone use something similar for equity deals (flips)?

Manolo D. , I'm actually in the LA area until Sunday. Wouldn't mind getting into a deal or 2 if you're looking for capital... PM me if you'd be interested in chatting or meeting for coffee.

Thank you, Beth I will PM you when I can figure out how... Working from the app so might need to do that from the computer. A little bit on me since I'm new: From the responses I'm getting I would assume you all think, since I'm posting from AZ, I'm a newbie to the Atlanta market. That is half true. I've been intimately involved with buying, renting and selling hundreds (arguably thousands) of homes in Atlanta metro; so I do have a good idea of what kind of small projects do, and do not, require permitting. However, I recently started flipping as opposed to renting so I'm going through that learning curve and thought these forums would help with that process. Taking all your comments to heart and appreciate the input.

I'd be interested in talking if you're still looking for an investor. Feel free to shoot me a message.

I actually got a PM from a guy in CO that said all he would need is a couple measurements and a bunch of pictures. I'd rather have someone local but I suppose with all the technology these days, outsourcing is becoming more possible for stuff like this.

This is all very helpful, guys. Thank you. Most of my projects are just opening, adding or rearranging a couple interior walls, and if we're not doing anything structural I shy away from permitting altogether. I'd still like to find that person that can draw up a basic floorplan for me for planning (and even marketing) purposes on those smaller projects.

Thanks, I know that LA is very tough too, which is where Manolo is operating. Not too concerned with "best practice" when it comes to architecture... just trying to work my way around the red tape. 

Thanks, Manolo

That's exactly the kind of rhythm i"d like to get into. An inexpensive draftsman to do the measuring/drawings and an architect that's willing to work with that and get me through permitting. Anyone in Atlanta that has any contacts they can share, I'd be in your debt.  

Do you have an architect that you can recommend? I just got a quote for $6k to do a very simple 700 SF addition... I used to get full sets of plans for custom homes for that price... granted that was 7 years ago in Arizona.

Thank, Aaron

It could be true that what I'm looking for will be hard to find, and maybe labeling this person as a draftsman is not correct. I'm looking for a person that has the ability to take measurements and draw an as-built floor plan in CADD; a scale drawing I can use as a visual tool for creating a game plan before I commit to a higher priced architect... that is, if the resulting game plan requires extensive planning and permitting. Perhaps an architecture student or someone with the necessary skills but not the high overhead of a big office and staff. I'm posting on here because I know I can't just search Google for what I'm looking for.
