The last 4 years I have been involved in architecting an end to end lending platform for a private mortgage lender.

They would also be to scale and provide a basis from which you could have the draughtsman, an architect, or an engineer update them to show the structural renovations you wish to perform.

We must manage Tenants, Contractors, Architects, Engineers, Vendors & Suppliers and even to a certain degree Property Owners... at least to help them maintain realistic expectations in full view of ever changing market conditions.We charge a % of rental income that is competitive in our area and we do charge a nominal Leasing Fee that is a flat charge but works out to be approx. 1/4 - 1/3 of typical first months rent in our area. 

The architect has indicated my expectations are unrealistic. 

If you haven't done it before, go find an experienced developer.If it was as simple as getting dirt and then building and lease-up, it'd be easy.However, there are lot of soft (aka go-away pmts to govt) monies and you need to get a good GC and architect to get you plans together.If it is your first, buy an existing MF and learn as much as you can - Much less risk.

If you're taking down walls, or doing extensive plumbing (like adding w/d) they might get the building architect or engineer involved.

Given what prices are like for rentals in NYC this could make a lot of sense to do but you'll need to get an architect if you are moving walls and reconfiguring apartments.

Hello and welcome.I am a Broker and Developer here in Denver, and my Father is an architect that has been working in Denver for quite some time now.

There's all types of businesses in them, from salons to architects, etc.For your ARV, one would need to know exactly what would be done to the property and the end use.

I dig 'em, but I am an architect and very open minded.
