They can provide valuable insights.Run the Numbers: Create detailed financial projections for each property you're considering.

One of the most common mistakes beginners make is jumping into large rehab projects without having a solid team or boots on the ground. 

I have one floor plan in my project that is set up for this.. out of 90 homes we have built  we only sold 4 of them .  

since as part of the project you are going to need an architect and civil engineer, I recommend starting with them and ask them who they have worked with for zoning.

I am not sure what tools you are using for your cash flow projections but it's possible to have a property that does not cash flow year 1 but will in year 2 or 3 and so on based on average historical appreciation in Austin TX. 

Finish the project, take great pictures and go live quickly. 

The only time you would see a fee related to maintenance would be a project management fee if multiple trades are required during a property turn. 

I’m curious, what’s been your most creative or successful rebranding project?

I reviewed the SB9 legislation, and it states that properties occupied by a tenant in the last 3 years are excluded from SB9 but only if the project includes demolition or altering more than 25% of the exterior structural wall.

With just these numbers to go on, if I felt the neighborhood is solid/trending up and not down and assuming your rent projection is realistic, I'd buy it.
