I don't see anything on the website or with a web search on how to go about applying for the mastermind.

Google search gives me these super wide ranges and mostly talking about adding a bedroom in a SFH, which I'm not sure if applicable to this situation of "moving/subtracting a bedroom from one unit and add it to another unit in a duplex". 

I’m in the process of searching for land in the Houston area to then build a 4-plex on it.The plan is to self-fund the purchase & construction, rent the units and cash out with a mortage.I like the idea of serving lower income families and therefore don’t shy away from section 8.This is the first time I do something like this, so I’m throwing it out there in hopes of hearing your thoughts and learning from your experience!

Feel free to reach out to discuss your goals and I can connect you with the right agent for your search.  

I did a quick google search and I can give you my opinion but I don't actually know him so keep that in mind.

Instead, they are taking advantage of you and you are letting it happen.I recommend you learn what a good PM looks like, then start your search for a new one immediately.

Good luck with your search!
