This area holds some amazing architecture too. 

Generally $100k-150k discount due to the extensive work/ cost and timeline it takes to lift the house from start to finish.In all you need to have architectural plans, permits, utility shutoffs all prior to the work, lift the house, new foundation, extend or completely redo utilities as they may have been submerged during flood.

If the roof needs replacing always opt for the lifetime architectural shingles with streak guard.  

I work for Saint Joe's, managing university housing (my background is architecture and sustainability) and have been learning the market and building a solid network.

That means I do residential design.I have worked in an architectural firm and now I have been on my own for 3 years.At BiggerPockets I am learning about investment and also studying the market because I will be moving to the US soon.

For a little background, I am a licensed broker and I am working on finishing up my architecture license this year (only 3 tests left!).  

I don't have prior real estate experience, but have worked for a general contractor for the last year and 8 months and love everything about architecture, design, construction and real estate.

Also, on the architectural fees, what are those for?

I work for a design oriented real estate development company in Brooklyn having made a career transition from architecture in 2013. 

(Based on my architectural experience and the laws/codes in NYC/NYS.)
