I met a girl at a concert and, after a date or two, decided I couldn't couldn't keep picking her up in that car. 

Might check out National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (PHAs, planners, developers, etc) as there are private and public partnerships.Mixed use projects may also look to the Community Reinvestment Act with commercial banks working in concert with the programs mentioned.

Newish washer / dryer, both high end3-season porchBig deck, nice back yard, fire pitQuiet cul-de-sac with a park at the end (very rare for the city it's in)Public transportation on the corner to just about anywhere in the metro with transfers2 - 3 minutes from multiple major highways / freewaysWalking distance (or close to it)to major mall (Southdale) and premium shopping (Galleria in Edina, MN)Potential marketing points / targets:The home is < 2 miles from the Best Buy HQ, and public transport goes straight thereAbout 10 minutes from MSP airportAbout 10 - 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, Mall of America, and most major concert or event venues in the city, and just a few minutes more from all of the same in Saint PaulEasy access to the west suburbs, which means access to things like Hazeltine GC (regular host to major golf tournaments, like the Ryder Cup this past year)Minnesota / Twin Cities are home to 17 Fortune 500 companies (http://www.twincities.com/2017/02/06/minnesota-has...)I totally expect making this a vacation rental to mean it will take more of my time, and not necessarily a trivial amount.

Tourism is a big factor in Chattanooga nearly year round, between the aquarium, concerts, sporting events, races/triathalons, conventions, etc. 

If your landlord has two neurons firing in concert then this will be the end of it.

However I suggest you make a concerted effort in the beginning to at least start to build it.

Sorry to crush your dreams, LOL.A residential conversion might be the best thing to do, but I just doubt it, I'd say there will be more commercial ventures that could take the space.Here a theater was turned over for live theater, concerts, seminars even wedding receptions, but that town isn't like here, that might work but off hand, probably not.A bowling alley was converted into a sporting goods catalog store.

In residential or commercial it's got to do with cash or termsIf it's all-cash I never pay more than 80% of appraised value, because generally cost 10% to sell and I only have 10% equityIf it's charms I'll even consider being more than appraised value for the payment will be well under rent to the seller so that I can maximize my cash flowIt's almost like a mass release concert where the payment to going to the seller is a lot less then  pleated rentIn fact many sellers will take a note with no payments or interest only payments to be able to get full value

from industry literature, I get the feeling that it saves perhaps 6-25% of water, that you will get perhaps 75-90% compliance, and you should di it in concert with installing all possible water savings methods (1-1.6 gpf toilets, low flow aeratorws and perhaps as low as 1.5 gpm showerheads (Home Depot has a nice $13 one from Delta that I like)not sure how you "install" RUBS, since you are not doing anything except picking a company to calculate and bill your tenants using a pro-rata algorithm.

Come to think of it, having a kid at home would allow us to take off in the 'stang and go to more concerts on long weekends.
