I’m an architectural designer & drafter who works at a high end firm and we use it for all our remodel projects.

I recently purchased a small farm (1 acre) with a house that we just finished remodeling.

I’m planning on renting to the tenants for another four months or so while I start working on getting the permits for a major remodel.

I think it's a hard question for others to answer for you, because it's entirely dependent on the nature of the project and your own interests and aptitude.I was my own GC (while working a full-time W2 job) on a 6-month remodel of a big house where we reconfigured the interior space, including relocating a staircase, converting part of the garage into an additional bed + bath and replacing the kitchen. 

Hello,  Does anyone know of an architect in the Cleveland area, specifically Westlake that can draw plans for a home remodel?

:)now, here's something... when we bought our house 13 yrs ago i knew nothing about remodeling. so when taking the wall paper off on one wall, 4 layers of wallpaper came off and some of the plaster. had no idea how to patch it, so we bought a bhear texture paint in a can that you apply with a special roller. and then we painted on top, so the bumps are smooth.so now, we have one accent wall in the house that's texture and everyone that walks in thinks it looks like art because we added some shapes that do not have the texture. even plasterers have commented on stealing that technique.. :)

This three-bedroom, two-bathroom condo has been completely remodeled and completely re-decorated by a professional stager.

For example, $400,000 ARV on a home x .75 -$50,000 (remodel) -$20,000 (assignment fee) =$230,000 offer priceHopefully this helps!

What do I need to do in terms of remodeling and permits?

I really screwed up on a few levels and ending have to evict one tenants and remodel the unit...
