I am very interested in flipping because I believe my eye for design is one of my best assets.I am brand new to Real Estate Investing but am ready to dive in!

What you're asking is if your market is in a bubble? 

It would be interesting and perhaps in this case absolutely critical to know exactly what "horrible things" the appraiser saw that turned him off.Sq ft and number of bedrooms don't mean much if it's (let's exaggerate here slightly) a roach motel built mainly out of asbestos where even the giant termites are jumping ship due to glowing chemicals bubbling up from between the radioactive floorboards. ;)

However, I could have gone to school for “X” years, read a bunch of books and took a ton of tests, and with absolutely no experience, create designs for buildings, bridges and overpasses.

If so You need to hire a design build contractor or an architect to develop plans and specifications to start moving forward with the project and permitting process.

Hello everyone,I'm a self-employed piano technician (previously musician, theatre production manager, and sound designer/composer) who waited until pretty late to get serious about what my finances are going to look like as I get older.

I'm looking for a designer to help me with planning for a two story, 1,000 sq ft add-on (500 top/bottom) incorporating an ADU.Does anyone know of any good designers for this project? 

The new home stock in Philly isn’t keeping up with national trends in design or function so I thought it would be an easy win.
