Essentially, if this is not your personal home, you are now required to submit architectural drawings with your permit application.

I studied Architecture at UH so naturally I'm very interested in buying land with the intention to build on it.  

Maybe instead of a full rebuild, have you thought about just a modernization of it's look.I did a mockup of Hardie board, a porch with a trendy standing seam metal porch roof, new doors and windows, architectural shingles, roof ridge vents, and stone cladding around the foundation.The house looks small and it's only one story, have you thought about teaching yourself to put on the Hardie board and save same money.But there is a lot of extra land, and the neighbors houses do look a lot bigger though.Decisions, decisions.Just my 2 cents.

We're very lucky in that we have a realty practice as well, but I'm super-lucky to have a wife that is not only an agent, but also an investor who has a formal degree in architectural realated design.

@Kameron Yellin I work in Architecture but am starting to get some RE deals going as well.

It's not a sure fire way to get a solid architecture group but it shows that they are current and active within their industry and that they are maintaining current continuing education.

They'll turn because they're closer to the city and lots of times the hood has nice old brick and architecture that just isn't built anymore.  

They are social impact and plan to invest  in areas affected heavily by gentrification I am thinking of investing myself,  For me much better than putting in a bank they are guaranteeing 8% plus 50% of profits amongst shareholders: This is crowdfunding private money.I have no expertise in urban planning, but I have respect for the field because one of my college roommates was an architecture major and I got to overhear his dormitory conversations.Reg A+ offerings are reviewed by the SEC.

Engineering, architecture, zoning and entitlement.

David Greene talks a lot about portfolio architecture.
