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.

You should have a clause in your lease that says tenant payment, no matter how they designate it, will first go to pay for late fees, fines, court costs, unpaid utilities, unpaid repairs, unpaid damages that they are responsible for, prior months' rent blah blah blah, then the balance goes to rent. 

@Todd Powell Hi Todd, there are definitely a lot of helpful tools out there; ***a lot of people use Zelle or Venmo, but they’re not designed specifically for rent collection.

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.
