Hi Looking for exciting investment opportunities for a passive stream of income .For background I work for a global investment bank designing and managing market linked products.I have made two rental property investments close to NYC Metro area but the rental yield isn't that attractive as in other up and coming parts in the country. 

Again, you may run into transfer limits with some of those other apps which aren't necessarily designed for the purpose of rent collection but the right landlord software can make this seamless for you.

As for online/electronic options, Cozy is a popular online one because it’s designed for rent collection.

The timber used was air-dried virgin fir and spruce of real versus nominal thickness, more solid and with greater long-term structural integrity than the kiln-dried managed-forest sticks we build with today.Even the designs homebuilders had to pick from, heavily influenced by the incipient modernism of the Prairie School and the Arts and Crafts movement at the time, were very heavily focused on lasting value.

detailed floorplan that I can then submit to a designer

It’s pretty standard from a design perspective, so I can’t imagine it’s a code issue or an ordinance.  

Also, it's designed more for organized teams which helps with their functionality. 

What you said about VA tenant law is true...most is written/designed to protect the tenant, but it's ALSO written to protect the landlord.  

I've used cabinets.com to create a mock-up design for the new cabinets in the kitchen, and they have designers that can help with this.

There is a whole lot to the process.You need a civil engineer to do site plan, stormwater design etc, architect to design and Gas to bid on final plans and specs.
