We need a structural engineer and someone to help us with the design layout of the new kitchen, laundry room, half-bath,and living space and the layout of the Master bedroom and master bath.we are in Greensboro North Carolina so we would like someone local.with an architect be the best person for the interior changes?

If it were me, and the lease said they were allowed just one space in the garage, I'd enforce the rule, and just have their guests deal with finding street parking.

That extra bit of personal space is very desirable compared to my competitors who do not have it.

I added some extra space for data to reflect that.  

There are two assigned parking spaces near the townhouse that the tenants may use on a first come, first serve basis.  

I have tankless oil at one rental and tenants are ok with it, we don't have space for a tank electric and they are using oil heat anyway. 

The home was custom built in the mid 80's and is in terrific shape, but its now dated and will need a new kitchen, baths, and some walls removed to open up some of the space that buyers find more attract today.

I've long loved the construction side of my job as an interior designer and I've spent most of my career creating spaces to either make people feel immediately at home (hotels and restaurants) or where they WANT to be home (multifamily & builder models).  

There are so many books discussing general knowledge on commercial leasing but it's somehow limited on actual owners/brokers' experiences with the industry whether it's for retail or office space. 

The price seems expensive to me for such a small space.
