@John Mocker good tip. 

Looking for guidance, tips, suggestions, best practices as to how to go about it.

Specifically wondering if they award the FMR listed on the HUD site, if there is an abundant applicant pool, and if the housing authority is responsive. 

The faster I finish the project, the sooner I can sell the property or, if I plan to keep it, the sooner I can get tenants in there.Now, if I'm adding square footage (i.e. a room, a bathroom, etc.) or if I'm adding something like a pool, then yes,  I will get a permit BECAUSE I want the additions to be added to the property profile. 

Let's pool together and make a master list of resources for REI data in Canada.

I don't fully understand the concept and was looking to get any advice, tips etc.

Also please feel free to share ang tips and pitfalls to look out for.

Essentially, people could donate money and get tax deductions and then that money could be pooled to buy property, fix it, rent it and pay a manager.I’m assuming it would be similar to a self invested Ira.

Instead of denying them, can we refer them directly over to the owner for them to sign a lease with the owner who is willing to effectively manage the contract, payment and relationship BUT would still want to retain us (albeit for a lower fee) to deliver ONLY guest and property care activities (guest communications, organizing cleaning, lawn and pool care etc). 

- Moving beyond 4-plex turns into commercial mortgage loans, which I think will reduce the pool of potential buyers.- If we play to hold, I'm not sure if the rental income will make this a worthy enough investment, but I could be wrong.What do you think of this situation here?
