I remember the theme of the show being "I am pregnant with my brother's baby" or something close to that.That made me laugh.

Not when you likely have some wedding plans to deal with.As Josh said, more info will be needed before people can start to be helpful.

Since then, everything has gone great but my savings hasn't grown as quickly as I'd hoped (apparently weddings cost money). 

I decorate mine in respect to the theme and location of the property.

I office near the Med Center and always enjoy meeting other investors.

Not sure what kind of photo work you do but if it's things like portraits or weddings and those are in the evening or on weekends, that could allow parts of the days that could be put to doing your woodworking.

. - one theme that I am seeing here, and that I see a lot of at my day job, is specialized knowledge, and its ability to put an investor at or near the top of his/her competitive pool. 

My guess is it was used for receptions, parties, weddings.

For a house that big I feel like it would be a LTR unless you have a specific idea for it (ie like a wedding venue house or something like that).

I have an interesting opportunity to co-sign on a property that has been rented out via Airbnb and Weddings.
