HI BP!

WE PUT OUR BACKS TO WALL AND REALITY HAS SET IN! WE ARE OFFICIALLY STARTING OUR FIRST FLIP! I'VE DONE SO MUCH RESEARCH AND FELT SO PREPARED BUT NOW FEEL LIKE A DEER IN HIGHLIGHTS! I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE SO I'M CURIOUS HOW LONG MOST FLIPPERS TAKE TO BEGIN RENOVATIONS. WE PLANNED ON WORKING WITH AN ARCHITECT FOR PLANS AND DRAWINGS. HE SAID IT WILL TAKE 10 DAYS FOR PLANS TO BE READY. WE PLAN ON LEAVING A SCOPE OF WORK FOR CONTRACTORS TO BID ON BUT IT SEEMS WE SHOULD USE THE PLANS PROVIDED BY ARCHITECT IN ORDER TO CREATE SCOPE OF WORK. IS 10DAYS TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR DRAWINGS? IS THIS STANDARD? DO YOU ALL USE ARCHITECTS?

WHAT ARE YOUR NORMAL PROCEDURES FOLLOWING CLOSING?

    No need to yell😆

    I'm curious as to why you're using an architect for your flip. Are you adding a floor or addition?
