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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
