I plan to stay at my job at least through the rest of the year and will hopefully have my CPA license by then, but what I should do after that is something that I am constantly going back forth on.I have had a strong interest and love for real estate and architecture for as long as I can remember.

Some of the processes for easy permits can be done on line by contractors as long as the work doesn't require architectural drawings.

A charming Victorian representing turn of the century Architecture throughout.

I'm a licensed Architect in Chicago, feel free to reach out if you have any Architectural questions for Chicago or surrounding suburbs.

Estimate on roof is $9200 for architectural shingles, fortified, and patching the damaged area.Obvious deep clean the whole house, paint the inside, new appliances in the smallish kitchen, floors, & roof for all in repairs, cleaning, & appliances of $14,725Comps came back and should be able list and get $109K after rehab.After purchase, rehab, closing & rehab costs, as well as hard money lender fees, etc. should be able to net $28KAND out ZERO MONEY out of pocket except for maybe earnest money.The only thing right now is the property is in probate, but the probate courts are STILL OPEN here, so am told, it shouldn't take very long to get that done.I'm curious...I wrote all that to say...I'm looking for partners in my area (Mobile, Alabama) and or mentors - I've been looking at real estate for a long time and finally made the decision to JUMP in...also if there are questions or concerns about this flip...let's chat.

For Los Angeles, the architectural plans, structural engineer, permits, and survey alone might cost you closer to $10K. 

Do not forget to include the separation of gas, electric and water meters and services, architectural fees and permit fees.3.  

Feel free to reach out if you ever have any Architectural questions for the Chicagoland Area.

However, there are also other factors to consider, site development, retention, utilities, permits, soft costs (architectural, taxes, insurance, legal), etc., if the building is multiple stories (elevator), construction technique (fire suppression) etc.  

I am a student of Architecture currently going into my final year of undergrad at Kent State University.
