Find a friend who has his brains tuned for systems architecture & design :)
Overall you do not need that much reviewing. The biggest issues appears IMO when there are mistakes in high level architecture and those can be spoted by someone with right experiene really fast and while refactoring and restructuring code you will become way better developer.

I am getting something like 1-2 proposals each day there and some of them are really really interesting ones.
If I'd be looking for any new roles or contracts that would be a really nice source of leads.
I think it's just a point of view as one can be very productive working remotely and another do nothing while being on site.
By the way in U.S. remote situation is not that bad. I am from EU myself, i work exclusively remotely for already 7 years (what proves that it is really possible to work remotely) but I am capable to find long lasting contracts just in U.S. In EU it seems like it's not possible at all :(
or buy 4 ebooks on copywriting at copyhackers.com, really good stuff. and bundle costs just $49. you'll get everything you need to write a good copy.
Disclaimer: I do not work for copyhackers as well :)
1. Start with pen and paper. Thinking a lot about usability draw everything there. You could use balsamiq.com & similar, but for me paper & pen works the best in this phase.
2. Look for design inspiration at dribbble.com & similar
3. Look for colors inspiration at colourlovers.com, kuler.adobe.com
Well, actually one multi-million company I was working for had chief architect on telecommute basis and it worked really well. I suppose it's more about processes and company DNA. But I have to admit, I saw such case just once :)
I think the biggest problem is your current code. It's really important part. I am working on a project, which was initially written by following all bad practices you could think off.
Well, happens, what can you do :) But the biggest issue is finding someone who is capable move forward without breaking while fixing. Experience doesn't matter in such cases, look for very detail oriented ones and if you find them drop me a line :)
Are you considering just on site jobs? You may try to work remotely. I work like that without any visa for many years. It takes a bit longer to find a contract but it works very well for me.
Definitely, bug fixing = not enough testing. So you charge for testing in advance of for bug fixing afterwards - you choose :). I am talking about hourly payment here of course. If price if fixed... then you can't charge for it.
That's not really true. I am doing consulting to support me, my wife & and my 3 years child for 4h a day and the rest time is for my startup. So yeah, it's really possible, just you have to be very committed to it.
