Well this thread is old, but what you need is a good architect; i am currently developing 2 parcels in Topanga, and i can recommend you a good one who is expert with the administration.

You will probably have to involve- architect, and environment verification consultation etc,..

I am hearing I would need to hire an architect as well.

Matt Kautz Your architect is funny.

look at hotpads.com and see what PM's are the most prominent in that area and that is who I would reach out to. 

I have used Prominence title off of Robinson St in downtown Orlando for a few deals on my end and my wife uses them for her brokerage as well.

Hey BP, I am looking for an Architect / Engineer in Bucks County, Morrisville is the location of the property.

You can put the time in yourself, or hire an architect to analayze expansion options (which won't be cheap at ~ $150/hr.)

Also, if this is new construction you might need an Architect as well. 

I'll probably buy from a wholesaler and do the rehab myself and steer away from turnkey providers unless it's a turnkey provider that is very prominent on BP and has a pristine reputation as buying an out-of-state inflated priced property with poor numbers sounds a great way to lose a lot of money.
