The area is extremely desirable in the most desirable school district.

You'll need to find someone in your desired market who eats, sleeps and breathes valuations to get a full idea of your cost in and your expected cash out.A buy and hold strategy is good if you don't need large cash flow and don't mind looking at residual income.

I'd love to have a 15-20 run, but can make do with a 10ft cable.All I can find (and even that took some searching) is a 50Amp cable with 14-50 plug on one end and the desired CS6364 connection at the other.  

I have no desire to mix finances.

For being the city, I would say its one of the more desirable places (Near the court house).  

I own a recently updated SFR in a very desirable location which used to be my primary residence.  

I have little to no desire to be a wholesaler; but, I'd be interested in buying good fix and rents in the D/FW area, in the B/C categories, although for C properties my Spanish skills are sketchy at best.

I found a property for a $180,000 that was in the desired area but needed serious renovations and I am not experienced in that.

It all depends on the local ordinances.The real question is, if the area has been zoned retail, how desirable will the property be to a future homeowner?

I currently don't have plans (or desire) to have employees under me.
