I purchased 2 acres of land in Puerto Rico last year am currently working with a team of Architects and Engineers to develop a unique Eco Resort on the property.

My name's Andrew, I'm 29, and an architect in Washington, DC.

Architect. 

Hello - I am looking for a an Architect and Contractor to quote a the remodel of an existing free-standing garage into living quarters. 

Anyway, I started out working with an architect.

Traffic noise etc is also more prominent off a corner lot / intersection that a house in-between two other houses adding a sense of privacy (all depending on set back parameters and how much privacy is achieved). 

Network and build connections with architects, contractors, land surveyors and even other investors who may have a background.Empty land is a blank canvas for the right real estate developer.

As an Architect, I used to design custom homes that a few of my Modular contacts could build in the factory for me.If you are buying them already on site, after market, that poses problems with mortgages for the buyers.  

In addition to running my business, I started an MBA program last month, which I believe will help me immensly as my business continues to grow.I find that for many RE investors, especially small, private ones, the process of finding architects and builders for their projects is often very trying and rarely leads to lasting relationships.

Most likely the architect would have structural, electrical, and mechanical engineering included in his fee.
