 Thanks @Bradley Bogdan, the basement unit has an exit door on both ends of the unit, with each door leading to building exits on either side of the building. I was thinking that would be good with the local building code, but you're right, I definitely need to verify that. Thank you for your response. 

I understand that. I'm just trying to find out if you can have 4 units of a 5 unit building sanctioned for section 8 and rent the basement unit to non-section 8 tenants. 

 Thanks @Pete Crutchfield, I'm going to be calling them Monday.  I was hoping to see if anyone had any experience with a similar situation. 

Hello everyone. This will be my first purchase. I am looking to purchase a 5 unit apartment. It was originally a 4 unit building, with a basement. The current owner has built an apartment in the basement, that is currently rented, making it 5 units. If I purchase the building, I am looking to accept section 8 tenants. The basement unit has no openable windows. I believe that makes the basement unit unable to accept section 8 tenants, but I'm not sure, please correct me if I'm wrong. Does this make the other 4 units ineligible for section 8 tenants?

My wife and I are looking to invest in our first rental and the prices in Gary are appealing. I see that you invest in the Lake county area and seem to be doing quite well.  What are your thoughts on rentals in Gary vs Lake Station and other surrounding areas?
