I am an Architect and am currently building my own modular house.

For those that have completed a condo conversion (architects, investor, attorney etc.)

Add to the mix the utilities, architects and engineers and it is easy to get bogged down.  

It reads: Master of Real Estate Development for Architects from Woodbury University in San Diego. 

.- Then, find an architect who can help you come up with ideas on what to build to best utilize the land and create a nice "flow".- Then, find a new home builder (or a GC with new home construction experience) to come in and help you ballpark estimates on construction costs.

Not interested in picking through it myself but if they estate sale company wants to come do the sale a couple days after close my calculation is as long as they make more than $161 in a week it'll pay for itself as our holding costs are only $23/day and my architect needs time to do the drawings anyway!

I am an architect in NYC and have seen it all, they can make or break any flip/deal as far as I am concerned.  

You have to get building plans from an architect.

@Kumud Shrestha Some of the best ways to find contractors is to talk to architects, designers, engineers, realtors and other investors.

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"!
