The zillow comp is not reliable enough to be counted on. 

Looking for a good general contractor to build a guesthouse on our back lot. Any recommendations?

You should connect with a realtor and get access to the MLS.Real estate listings on zillow, trulia, realtor will not be as reliable as what is found on the MLS(or equivalent).Properties on the online sites may have already been sold.Furthermore, properties just recently listed on the MLS may not show up on the online sites until after a couple of days.

I've worked with a couple contractors in the past but need a reliable contractor that can work within a budget and on a reasonable deadline.

"A nice home" will not make money reliably.

You can find an older Honda or something similar that's reliable and that you can afford with no car payment, and then use the extra money that you were paying on this car's monthly payment to pay down some of your other debt.Unfortunately you're in a bad position with the more expensive car because you can't afford to keep it but you also can't afford to sell it since you're so far upside down on the loan right now.But I'd do whatever I could to start chipping away at some of that other debt. 

What has been your best method of finding good reliable contractors in the Austin area?
