An engineer, architect, building department, etc.?

I've definitely been on the wrong side of the deal, I've gotten a fee but the greater profits come from coordinating the whole deal.im an experienced architect so due diligence, navigating permits, contractors and construction I can handle but I'm a complete newbie when it comes to the best way to finance. id be looking at finding a good deal in a sagging market, completing a facelift renovation on all units then occupying one unit. i have an investor that will partner up in the venture with a legal background and we've narrowed down area, lot size, price point etc. my long winded way of asking a simple question is where do I start with obtaining a loan for financing?

Seems like a generic service most architects/engineers already offer, just on a more personal level.

I am able to find general contractors and architects from houzz, homeadvisor and yelp. 

Id say start building relationships with a team of professionals, such as architects and contractors or even a DB firm in your area. is there a possibility to keep the same footprint, and salvage the foundation? 

As a licensed architect, I do not ever sell my drawings.

We have an architect that proposed underpinning the basement.

definitely not the bank or state, since the seller still rent out the property and collect rent and pays back the mortgage. but she signed the AOS which means she has to deliver the property. or we get some sort of compensation for our architect work done to get the religious purpose approved by State previously.thanks

The job is too small and writing to them as if an architect is bidding a huge project.

I have a buddy (architect) who does this stuff in Seattle, let me know if you need a recommendation.
