That stretch of Emerson Ave is a bit narrow/tight as you know, but proximity to the park is a good selling point.Just a quick note (for whatever it is worth). 

@Amber Gonion Comparing a PM and an attorney is a stretch.

I'm using my own house right now as a short term/vacation rental, and we're not in a tourist destination by any stretch of the imagination. 

My husband works, but he's in non-profit so his income only stretches so far.Is a hard money loan my only option?

I have my eye on Lago Vista and Fredericksburg (Fredericksburg might be a little stretch as "greater austin though)

If I fix even a small software bug or complete a training run or heavy lift, I’m likely to raise my hands into the sky for a full body stretch, put on a huge smile, pump my fist and say YESSS!!!!!

At the same time, stretched affordability after years of price gains, and the reduced deduction for state and local taxes, are weighing on certain markets, especially in high-cost coastal areas

Having just 1 or a few will be hard to command accountability from already stretched vendors.I am not sure what your current lifestyle/professional demands are but this is a 24 hour job. 

In our trade, there's always a triangle constraint, time, scope & money. if you stretch one, you couldn't get the other two.

But i think you need to be more specific with the area you are referring to/ interested in investing in. im no expert by any stretch of the imagination but in Gwinnett county i have been having a hard time finding deals on zillow that are worth their price.
