I don't have a flair for graphic design or writing.

and you, as the responsible adult, knew about the theft and did nothing about it?

I design large construction insurance programs for a living.

I had a form made and my logo designed from the website.

Whatever scheme you design to solicit investors run it past an attorney to be sure you will not be violating any SEC rulings or laws.

Will  this involve getting a soil report from a licensed soils engineer so the architect and engineer know what type of foundation they will have to design and the owner have built for the building?

I tell them to bring cash for the application fee for each adult that will be living in the house, as well as a cash or certified deposit to secure the property if they decide they want it.Sometimes I book 2 or more 15 minutes apart, usually on a Saturday afternoon.

Hey All,Just wanted to get some thoughts on what my architect is charging for the design and management of a major remodel.  

I'd never try to use such terms (and they wouldn't likely be accepted in our hot local markets), but shouldn't 2 adults be allowed to determine what's fair and reasonable?    

I would bring this situation up with a local real estate attorney and fill myself in more completely on landlord/tenant laws and rights but you can also think that if you rent the house to 4 adults knowing at some point from the start they will each take one of the rooms you provide lock and keys for each room.
