My background is in architecture / interior design, but have since transitioned over to project management for creative agencies. 

We also own and architectural drafting and design firm and he designs a lot of new builds and remodels and we just thought why not do this for ourselves, too?

The amount increased will likely depend on your permit (i.e. architectural drawings or whatever).While the building inspector isn't specifically looking for code violations when inspecting the garage, it's a good idea not to have any obvious issues in plain view (for example, don't have an unpermitted kitchen rehab or HVAC install in progress when they inspect the garage and expect them to overlook it when they walk through the house!). 

Am currently preparing architectural plans that, when completed, will allow us to raise the rent ~$700-900.

I will be graduating with a Masters in Architectural Engineering (focusing on structural engineering) and my partner as a lawyer.

I would like to get a duplex and then continue to grow from there and maybe even get into commercial real estate, but I love the architecture and history of my neighborhood's single-family homes as well and want to pick up a few more of those too.

Hey @Ed Long I run a company that provides owners rep, architecture, and consulting services.

While you can probably find a drafter/designer for cheaper than an Architect, we would be able to continue the design development to provide architectural drawings to be used to obtain a building permit.

It’s not just the positive cash flow and rental properties that are plentiful in Detroit, we offer some of the best food and architecture in the world.
