Architects doing paper lot land sourcing/site acquisition? Entry into architect as developer

(Originally posted in r/architects)

I was pushing Gemini’s “architect as developer” knowledge by asking some questions about the logistics of that and how it works.

It told me one way to break in is by doing site sourcing and basically using your architectural skills to present packages showing what can be achieved on a lot.

Is there a precedent for architects/designers doing site sourcing for developers by presenting feasibility studies of undeveloped land? It also told me that you could put a form of sweat equity into the development project by doing this.

I really don’t know much about anything real estate related so I’m wondering what you all have to say about this? From what I gathered in other searches though, it seems like a lot of site sourcing is done with AI now anyway, so what value would a designer bring if you did this?

I also don’t get how you’d even approach somebody. “Here’s a pdf with colorful boxes on an Axonometric diagram of this site you don’t own, now pay me”?

Any discussion would be interesting to see on this.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
