Jacob,Before you get a contractor on board, you will need and architect and engineers to prepared drawings for submission to DCRA for permits.

Our architect also did the interior design and finish selections.

We really like farming the work out to independent contractors (architects, engineers, builders, etc.) that can scale up when things get busy instead of having full-time folks.If we end up getting about twice the size we are now we'll likely need some employees to help out.

Scott,ABQ architect here.

She has two homes and needs to sell one before a balloon payment comes due.The home is in a resort area that is commuting distance from Albuquerque NM.I don't have any idea how to do comp: The home is a work of art, it was an architects master's thesis project in the 70s (even has Van Gogh's, "Starry Night" painted on a wall).

Hello Everyone,My name is Andrew and Im an fledging real-estate investor, aspiring architect, beer enthusiast, classic car connoisseur, and crossfit junkieMy real-estate investing career started when I got my real-estate license during my architecture undergrad.

You need to get some contractors, and really an architect, to work up some plans and then start getting bids.

Also, finding money for new construction is completely different than buying something that's already built, then fixing and flipping.Remember, if you are bringing something to the deal (if you're a contractor, agent, architect, or something of real value) you look at things a little differently than a person that has to hire people for every job etc.

Those professionals included on every deal are:1) The Licensed Realtor required;2) The Licensed Independent Banking Institution required;3) The Licensed Loan Officer required;4) There Licensed Independent Appraisers required;5) The Licensed Title Company that will close the transaction required;6) Licensed Architects required;7) The Licensed Land Surveyor required;8) The Licensed Civil Engineers required;9) The Licensed Mechanical Engineer required;10) The Licensed Builders and Subcontractors required;11) the Licensed Realtor Property Managers required to rent the property.SO YOU SEE, OUR ENTIRE PROCESS IS HIGHLY REGULATED AND INVOLES ENOUGH REGULATED LICENESD PERSONNEL FOR EACH PART OF THE TRANSACTION!

My business partner is an architect and is fairly knowledgeable about the market, which is a bit insular here on the peninsula of Charles ton, SC.
