@Brenden Mitchum I moved to Atlanta to stay with my girlfriend who is an Architect, I have a degree in Aerospace and Atlanta provides a great variety of options for me on that front, it is just a coincidence that my investing strategy is MF.

On the other hand, with my industry background and having worked with a number of Investor groups that flip, having a strong creative side (and a wife that is an Architect) and a strong eye for detail and will more than likely see things that others might miss.

Or, would that be taking on too much for a 1st project; and wouldn't that include architect plans....etc.Just looking for more insight to get my 1st property under my belt.  1st always the hardest.

And did you have the plans drawn up by an architect before the land was purchased?

Architects?

You may need a structural engineer or architect to help with the roof design and loads now that you will tear off the entire roof. 

I'm in the planning stages with my architect and deciding how big to build, which amenities to add / leave out.I'm hoping to talk with someone who's gone to market, recently sold, etc to get some current market feedback.

An architect with significant experience in the Chicago area would be a good resource initially. 2.

Greetings Spokane Investors,Does anyone have a recommendation for an architect in Spokane?

I am also not an attorney, but as an architect we negotiate deals with contractors all the time.Also look at the AIA A101- 2017 Standard Contract between Owner and Contractor (https://www.aiacontracts.org/find) for how large contracts work.
