The house is incredible from an architectural perspective and it's not too far off from what I would design myself as our dream home.

Fortunately, we came out break-even or with appreciation in all scenarios, but I'd be lying if I said that was 100% by design.

Interior designers?

As for the design, I don't really get involved too much.

my parents let me live at home for free if I would study and get my RE license I as tired of pumping gas and bagging groceries for 2 bucks an hour.got said license at 18... and never looked back.. have been in business through some interesting time... uber high interest rates  18 to 20%  1989 to 1991 crash in SF bay area ( regional event but a crash all the same)  Dot com bubble but that one was not bad.then the mother of all crash's 08 to 2010... did not get wiped out but darn near .. set back 10 years.. now 5 years after that disaster back to about 50% of where I was in 07.. but much happier .. gone is my HML company and 20 employees.... now its just me and my hand picked group of investors doing what I do best and that is finding good RE talent an helping them make a lot of money...

Sorry to burst your bubble: you cant get deals as quickly as you wish using these strategies. 

I'm originally from Texas, but currently working as an architectural designer for renovation projects in New Jersey and New York.

I didn't respond and I cut off all communication with him.In a follow-up call with the attorney I shared the contents of the last email, and the attorney said it sounded like he was setting me up to be, as they say in New York, the DFG, or "designated fall guy."

I design my own sites myself, but I believe there are companies that offer this service.

Robert, thanks for the feedback and do you think it is a bubble or starting of a seller's market.
