I did most of the work myself so I can see where I saved on labor but a breakdown from the cost was 15k in materials, 11k in permits and impact fees, 2k in architect fees and the rest was in labor that I had to outsource.

There are either permits or there are not, a simple check on that with your title rep, architect, or direct at LADBS can get you that answer.

They hire architects, general contractors and others to help.  

I'm a licensed architect, located in Front Royal, VA, a small town about an hour west of Washington, D.C.I've reached the point where I'm tired of trading my hours for dollars and have been looking for investment income strategies that can replace my regular W-2 job as quickly as possible and start building passive income and long-term wealth.

One of my goals for a long time now has been to be an Architect & Developer.

Go to your local architect and inquire, he or she should be able to assist you.2.

We are working with a very experienced contractor, architect, real estate CPA, real estate attorney, and real estate property manager.

My partner is an interior architect/designer in Los Angeles so she has some amazing visions/plans for shells and spots that need rehabbing.West Philly is the one place I don’t know that well.

Sometimes that means they decide to use a less than stellar design team (e.g. architects, etc.).

I’m sure that I need an architect and developer.
