I've seen post online that say that Section 8 will help you with the cost to remodel a home if you then place it on the Section 8 program.

Perhaps, though, the house I tried this on just had a serious leak in the section I was connected to.

I have 3 tabs open into different sections of reireply at the same time...Today at 11am I'm going on my 2nd sales call for a house deal via reireply. 

Assuming the schedule holds, we'll have some people from Section 8 Housing coming to share about the program and provide us with some time to ask questions.

Section 8 is the way to go when dealing with a neighborhood like this.

Here's where you can find events posted on the forums up in the top right corner of the screen.

For purposes of this Section 19 only, “Interest in the Property” means any legal or beneficial interest in the Property, including, but not limited to, those beneficial interests transferred in a bond for deed, contract for deed, installment sales contract, or escrow agreement, the intent of which is the transfer of title by Borrower to a purchaser at a future date.If all or any part of the Property or any Interest in the Property is sold or transferred (or if Borrower is not a natural person and a beneficial interest in Borrower is sold or transferred) without Lender’s prior written consent, Lender may require immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Security Instrument.

You can build up to 38 feet and on 75% of the lot area (80% for corner parcels).

I have a triplex with one Section 8 tenant.
