Would this be something I should consult with an architectural firm or would a good roofing company suffice?

I have an architecture background (soon to be licensed California architect), I am interested in what is phrased as Architect as a Developer.  

I would be doing all pre-development research, architectural design and then building.

This will also include having the right architectural eyes on the project, making sure things are done in line with the rules to receive the credit.(4) Not specific to historic houses, but because of the changing area of the area, historic prices are all over the map.

I was born in Idaho and recently returned to start my own company doing Real Estate and Architecture.  

So I replaced it with an architectural shingle and my insurance went up.

FYI, patents on the lighting system, bond, and project architecture are in the works.

I went to school for Architecture, but currently work for a mechanical, electrical, and piping consulting engineer (so I work with architects all the time).

I grew up in Dallas, went to college in Austin for architecture, and returned to Dallas to work in the industry for a couple of years.

Hi, How would go about financing multi-family construction project (10x 1BR units) given the following starting conditions:- I own a lot with an existing duplex standing on the lot - Lot is mortgaged, remaining mortgage balance around $280K- Market value of the lot with existing structure is around $0.9M-1M (based on comparable recent sales in the area)- Estimated architectural fees, approved construction documents set cost: $80-100K- Available cash reserves (savings): ~$200K- Estimated new construction cost: $1.8M- Estimated new property value after construction: $2.5-3M- About me (first-time developer, 800 credit score, annual income before tax around $200K)I am pretty sure that I have to pay off my existing mortgage ($280K) before being allowed any construction activities on the lot.
