@Duncan Banks - If you ever start flipping houses, you may have to fight against that architect that is inside of you.

In your price point, you had better hire a name brand architect and contractor that have a great track record in your price point.

But it also encompassed major projects in unexpected locations, like a 40-story apartment hotel designed by Emery Roth for the northwest corner of 106th Street and Central Park West, an area of third-rung apartment houses.Other buildings of 40 stories or more were planned for 70th and West End Avenue; 85th and Central Park West; 87th and Park Avenue; 90th and East End Avenue; and 105th and Broadway.Of the many fallen visions, three stand out in particular: an East River idyll, a richly colored West Street enclave and a Madison Square tower that was to have been the tallest in the world.Early in 1929, a syndicate including Douglas Elliman and the architect-developer Eliot Cross announced plans for the blockfront on the East River from 48th to 49th Streets, to be known as Watergate.

I am quickly moving through the process of closing on my first deal (I'm super excited) but I need help identifying some good architects and 203k contractors that I can contact for rehab work I plan to do on the home that I am purchasing.

However you also have to factor in the soft costs such as architect, permits, C of O, etc.

I'm also worried it may be a slippery slope that changes some simple repairs and upgrades to a train of highly paid engineers, architects, and inspectors crawling all over the property, which I don't have the time or budget for.  

@Nicolas BeaujeanI'm an architect licensed in RI, MA, NY & DC with a ton of experience in rentals and working with developers.

The most prominent company is “Corporate Housing Specialists” and was created in 2022.

Currently looking at Prominence and Century Communities.

Plus you need survey, geo tech, architect, engineering, and permits.
