While I enjoy my design job, I’m seriously considering a career in property management as I feel it would be a better fit for me professionally.As I’ve researched online, it appears that both Real Estate Broker and Community Association Manager licenses are recommended for entry-level property management positions in the state of Illinois.

We demolished all but a few feet of the home and left a portion of the existing foundation, then designed and built a new 2,504 SF modern home with an attached 2 car garage.

The best way to find contractors is to talk to architects, designers, engineers, realtors and other investors.

So many gotchas.For instance, SmartCore at Lowes says you gotta have wear through in over 3% of the whole install area for them to even cover under warranty.Stainmaster plank warranty pretty much halfassed-LIMITED LIFETIME RESIDENTIAL WEAR WARRANTYx The manufacturer will supply new material of the same color, design, and grade, if available; if unavailable ordiscontinued, Novalis reserves the right to select and supply similar the manufacturer materials.

I have some architect friends that have done decks for City of Atlanta, not sure if it was client or city driven though (even small projects seem to need design professionals).I bet Atlanta is just sick of the nonsense they see trying to review projects with no design professionals involved, they review soo many projects that it may be a good way for them to increase their review efficiency.Once your architect and engineer is on board it should smooth out.
