I would probably run a solar powered lamppost where the stump has been ground -adding visual separation between the drive and walkway. 

.#3  You may want them to go do a quick visual inspection of the house before you make your offer....they may be able to keep you out of trouble before you even get started.#4 They can provide you comps for both the purchase and rents, and perhaps verify rents for you of current tenants.#5  They may be able to provide location expertise and inside knowledge of the area for you....the good, the bad, the ugly.   

In order to authorize a change in noncon­forming use, the Board of Adjustment shall consider the relative impacts of the existing noncon­forming use and the proposed nonconforming use with regard to traffic, noise, pollution, visual appearance and compatibility with the neighborhood, and shall make the following findings:1) The proposed use is expected to result in impacts which are less than those associated with the existing use.2) The proposed use will be more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood than is the existing use.3) Approval of the change in nonconforming use serves the public health, safety and general welfare.4) Failure to approve the change in nonconforming use would result in a hardship to the owner of the property on which the nonconforming use is situated.An existing nonconforming use shall be discontinued within 60 days of the date of approval of a change in nonconforming use.

can you share a map to visualize the location? 

Here's a simple example (because I'm a visual learner lol):Assumed ARV = $115,000Purchase Price + Cost = $45,000Rehab Costs = $35,000All In Costs (total above) = $80,000 financed fully by a HMLBut then the appraisal comes back at $100,000 and you're only able to obtain an 75% LTV, meaning you'll only cash out $75,000.

I personally won't consider paying someone 10x to create a slightly more visually appealing site with a better click through rate.

For people less visual it can be more helpful in the long run.

Looked at several because of the covid and so many possibilities if a good contractor and an open mind to visualize the layout!

Not only will you save money and time over several projects, you'll gain some skills with regard to planning your rehab and visualizing various configurations of your home remodeling project.Yes, filing remodeling permit plans and getting them approved with the City of Austin is a daunting task in the beginning.
