I did a extensive amount of research on note investing and wanted to see if anyone would be willing to share their knowledge with me on my first note purchase, which I aim to do within the next 30 days; holding me to a strict timeline will force me to take the leap of faith.

The reason you don't find a whole lot of info on that online is that is very specific to the property and local codes along with the utility company.

A recent Bankrate report lists low inventory, builder's inability to keep up with demand, an influx of new buyers, strict lending standards, low rates, and muted foreclosure activity as the six reasons why they believe no crash is on the horizon.

Where we currently invest, we have strict Tenant/Landlord laws making it very difficult to increase rents and almost impossible to evict a tenant (even for the best of reasons!).

We're all very familiar with some like HOA CC&Rs (Codes, Covenants and Restrictions), but they can be done for many situations.

I am looking at HB 2001 and the sample code and wondering what the impact will be on land value. 

San Antonio is so big and I don't feel like I know how to rate communities and zip codes yet.

This would get that job done (which is a big job) but at the same time increase the property value.The new rental suite will likely rent for $1500/m but to get city approval, the whole house as a duplex/triplex needs to be bought up to code  (fireproofing, electrical, plumbing) which will likely make the whole build cost close to 300k (contractors estimate).

For instances in 30305 zip code section 8 pays $2,178 for 3 bedrooms and they increase rent to $2,662 for 4 bed rooms.

With these, I decided to be very strict about any damage caused by this family.
