Does anyone have suggestions of how I should proceed? 

@Olutomi Odukoya Has your property management company suggested anything like posting to Zillow and highlighting voucher acceptance?

Can you take the steps you suggest?

2) If you ever had an FHA loan how did you go about getting into your second property with low money down3) Any suggested creative financing deals you were able to use to get first investment property?

Start with simple repairs, plan for vacancies, and ensure professional inspections. 

He has suggested an 8-unit building.10,000 sq/ft @ $215 sq/ft = around $2.15MEach unit will be worth around $268,750The current plot of land is currently zoned for a duplex without further approval from the city/community, but the zoning on the land can allow for up to 8 units by applying for a Special Use Permit through the city.

My best suggestion is to hire a real estate agent.
