Stanley - I would suggest that you go have 3-5 conversations with lenders and understand how much they are willing to lend to you given your financial situation.

It's not like we have a gold standard any longer. 

Also, I really wanted the units to be up to my standard, but I think I spent more on them making them look better with upgrades, etc, than I needed to.

Hey @Shuvrajit Mukherjee - First off, I am not a developer, but just wanted to ask some clarifying questions to better understand what data you are searching for.It seems you want data from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) not NAR?   

My understanding is the key is to keep separate bank accounts and financial transactions.

I came back to Ohio and started working for a construction company, and have been there since. (2017) Currently I manage an asphalt plant for them in Columbus.I haven't done a ton of real estate investing, but have a strong understanding of construction, and project management. 

This is standard practice, but there are exceptions.

I'm looking to invest in Detroit, and my understanding is that just because a voucher is worth a certain amount, the municipality may not have that amount to give out- as government funds are certainly not unlimited.

Be sure to consult with local experts, evaluate cash flow, understand tenant laws, and negotiate with the seller for the best outcome.Good luck!

My understanding is that after a year you can move into another house hack and get another FHA loan.
