The way things are headed, San Antonio and Austin will be one big stretch of city before long.

The traffic studies that have been completed call for an increase from 900 vehicles per day to 9,000 vehicles per day in this short stretch of residential area. 

Fairfield (stretching under the interstate) is the primary connector to the Napier neighborhood.  

So doesn't that mean you'll be stretching yourself if you go with a VA loan and then on top of that possibly adding an investment property.

The lot is attractive for a few reasons. 1) it's about 2x the size of the typical lot in that community, but not the biggest by any stretch. 2) it's somewhat secluded on a cul-de-sac. 3) all utilities and sewers are already in place. 4) my friend (who is also buying a lot under similar conditions down the street) has a strong network in the area and was able to find these under market value by about 20-25%.

You'll find if you are smart with your saving/spending, you can really stretch your dollars and there are opportunities all over this area.

I refi'd last year stretching my 15 year term back out to 30 to increase cash flow thinking i would eventually rent it as well.

That said, these shows take a lot of time/energy to produce and we simply don't have the time to make every show 2 or 3 hours . . . we're stretching it on some of those 1.5 hr ones.That said, I'm glad to know you are getting value from them!

Now that you have stretched my context into 100 there's no way I can shrink it back to 9 or even 20.

I would then stretch the remaining $35K over 30 years or due upon settlement with the IRS, whichever comes first.
