Preferably, we would enjoy finding a contractor who had access to a team that could do the electrical, plumbing, architecture, permit fillings and so on.Please advise if you know of such a being or if you have any pieces of the pie your recommend, such as an Architect/Designer, electrical person and so on.This will be our first time doing something like this so any advice at all is appreciated.Deep gratitude to you all,- Brian

An architect introduced it to me. 

Hello Brian,Are you looking for someone to draft plans or are you looking for an architect?

If it's allowed by the local zoning ordinance, you will need to work with a State of Fla. licensed architect or engineer, come up with a plan for renovation(s) that will comply with the building, fire and health code requirements.

Here are some suggestions on how to proceed, some of which you may or may not be already aware of:Consult with a local architect: You’ll be dazed at how much ideas they possess and are willing to make available to you “pro bono”.  

This should include details of the additions, repairs, or changes to be made, and any specific preferences you have for the layout and finishes.Some contractors may have in-house design services or work with architects and designers to help you create a layout and design that suits your needs.

I'm a licensed architect and, with the exception of a couple of years in Portland, I have spent the majority of my time working on projects in the the Santa Barbara region.

Here's the formula:ESTIMATED SELLING PRICE (ARV) -Purchase price -Purchase expenses (inspection, survey, etc) -Rehab cost -Misc soft costs (designer, architect, engineers, permit) -Loan costs (interest payments, points) -Other holding costs (utilities, landscaping, pool maintenance, etc) -Selling costs (commissions, closing costs, staging, buyer warranty, etc)=PROFIT

I am a residential architect so I am confident about designing and project managing a reno project.

I'm inclined to run everything through a local attorney and architect who know everyone and keep my name off things. 200 units is bigger than anyone would trust me with, I'm afraid.
