Any recommendations for an affordable architect. 

You can also call local architects and ask for recommendations.

As a businessman — and a somewhat wayward protégé of Reaganomics architect Art Laffer — Polis has a more sophisticated grasp of economics than his fellow Democrats.

When you have a strong team (general contractor, designer, architect, landscaper, stager, lender, realtor) these flips move relatively smooth.How many contractors did you use?

You should have a conversation with a local builder AND an architect.

Look for a good construction management group, engineer and architect in your area and find a partner with enough capital. $1M is not difficult to find a partner if you want to develop.

These days just the cost of architect+permit itself is already 20-30k.I think the root cause of the problem is a combination of such things:- construction cost is too expensive- existing home is cheaper than new construction- Market/rent value is actually more beneficial to the renter - since ADU is not popular, there's no common way how to appraise it properly.

I am sure @Samuel Pavlovcik or @Prashanth Mahakali could provide some more info as they are submitting permits on a regular basis as architects.

I am not an architect but am trying to understand the process?

We find that ads in the newsfeed get a higher CTR (click through rate), but convert less - most likely due to you are more 'interrupting' marketing than seek and find (I see an ad and have interest in the message).I am in the process of gearing up some stuff to start really putting some good content here on BP and providing 'lead conversion funnels' custom made to your business.Also, I'm an Architect in-house to a development company and do most all the marketing for the lease up of multifamily projects, primarily in So Cal, but doing some stuff in Boise now too!
