Then talk with an architect to come up with a preliminary plan on what can be done within the zoning restrictions and your lot size.

Hi all,I am new here and new to Wholesaling / Investing.I am a Residential Designer, almost Licensed Architect, trying to Design / Build my own Projects.I figured Wholesaling could help me do that, while also getting experienced in finding and closing my own Deals.I am trying to Focus on a single Market for Deals and could use some advice.I would focus in my Backyard, but I live in Redondo Beach, South Bay, Los Angeles and the Market here is crazy intimidating.My Brother-in-law is a Realtor and Flipper in Mesa Arizona, so I could focus around the Phoenix area, as he could help.My College Buddy is also a Realtor and Flipper in Plano Texas, so I could focus on the Dallas Fort Worth area as well.I am considering moving to Portland / Hillsboro Area, so maybe focus there.Or, none of the above and just focus on parts of the Country that are hot Real Estate Investor Areas and Wholesale 100% Virtually to them.Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Most banks look at the "as is" appraisal for LTV calcs but I've found at least one broker (Renofi) that works with appraisals based on architect drawings to produce LTVs.

Maybe its just the architect in me that likes the options and potential for designing and creating so many things but I just like raw land for long term holds.

As one of the top architects in the area, he will know better than anyone! 

I have been in the trades all my life and architects, engineers and builders only go for what you need now in regards to residential construction.  

I had one we were doing a cosmetic rehab on a single family where the zoning was CMX and they wanted full architects drawings and a whole bunch of other junk that didn't make any sense.

I am a licensed architect working on residential projects and interested in REI.cheers,Anthony
