On average, how much does it cost to hire an architect for a luxury single-family home project?

Many contractors will say that they can not provide a final price until they have drawings from an Architect, which for the scope of this project, you may need anyway in order to obtain the building permit; however, don't let them write you off too quickly since you cant provide drawings.

This technique (also called "equity stripping") has been around for years and is recommended by quite a few prominent asset protection attorneys.

An architect with significant experience in the Chicago area would be a good resource initially. 2.

Then architect to review and stamp.

Greetings Spokane Investors,Does anyone have a recommendation for an architect in Spokane?

Looking for an architect experienced with the HPO.

I was thinking something like:1) get it inspected by the city.2) fix/correct everything that needs to be fixed immediately per the inspector (seems likely mostly tied to safety)3) work with a designer/architect/engineer to design the ADU expansion, while also incorporating any of the other issues that need to get fixed on the original ADU but that don’t need to be immediately fixed,4) get the permits for step #3,5) build.Thoughts?

That doesn't mean all Architects (obviously not if I'm an Architect).The pluses should be their understanding of construction and rehab. 

@Brenden Mitchum I moved to Atlanta to stay with my girlfriend who is an Architect, I have a degree in Aerospace and Atlanta provides a great variety of options for me on that front, it is just a coincidence that my investing strategy is MF.
