Specific for the Atlanta Housing Authority, you have to attend the landlord/property manager training session to even accept a section 8 tenant.

If your parents are financially responsible with strong credit, get added as an authorized user on their account.

Having engineering plans and calculations can streamline the permitting process, as many local authorities require this documentation for ADU conversions.I can't give an invoice estimate as I am not well versed in how engineers price their work, but I would assume something around $5,000 for engineering services on a project of this size.

Perhaps you can call the local housing authority for some direction as they too would want you to do things appropriately.Can you ask the sellers to get them out before closing?
