I have a relationship with an architect that would be willing to work on the project.

I am looking for an investor with access to $1 million to pay for the architect and engineering and legal and finance work.

The house is in need of serious repairs and as it sits, my educated guess ( Based on property tax values of comps and the fact that the same architect built 3 similart homes and his neighbor sold his house a year ago for $2.8 Million) its worth $1.5 Million or so.

Below are some contacts from my archives that may be able to help or at least refer you to someone:[Name] Ducket Design Group, East Point Architect[Mobile] (404) 592-4539[Name] Randall, East Point, Architect[Mobile] (770) 356-7752

My good friend from elementary school is looking for a Los Angeles area based industrial architect.  

Because time is important, we would prefer to buy someone's blue prints and tweak those vs starting fresh with an architect.

Managing the team of contractors, designer, architect, engineers, and broker is no problem.

Speaking of working with the city, the right way to do this is hire an architect or draftsman to draw up your plans, submit those plans to the city, and get your project approved.

depends. if you are talking multi million house, most people get a designer/architect to suggest chages.if you are talking about a 100k, you just replace what's there and people fall i love with it cause it's "NEW"!

Key was using a local and experienced architect within the town.We installed new foundation walls from superior walls and began out build.We went with a modern design, outside of our normal traditional colonial, but we feel it came out great.
