I really appreciate your feedback and encouragement.

Affordable Housing Incentives -While SB 9 encourages new development, it also includes provisions to protect existing tenants and preserve affordability.

I would highly encourage paying a GC to walk deals out the gate, have them give a scope of work so you can see what items costs.

All comments are encouraged and I appreciate everyone's time! 

All thoughts, critique, and stories are welcomed and encouraged!!!

I would encourage you to self manage.

I would encourage you to look outside of Austin since going there shouldn't be too difficult if you need to do something in person, you can even drive some of the areas yourself and do your own evaluation of it.
