Being a veteran is a great way to take on assumptions when you find them from another veteran.

Any advice about how to find a list of deals?

Where would I look to find a partner to work with?  

You are under no obligation to argue back and forth, answer questions, provide phone numbers, send pictures, or any of this nonsense.

Am I able to raise the new lease by 262 and put the unit at the FMRAlso, can I find out a head of time if the housing authority will pay it ? 

My ideal situation is to find a finance partner to help fund these deals for approximately 12-16 months, and we will exit the deal after selling to a significant multifamily, home builder, or developer for them to build on the approved land.    

I would probably stick to #2 and get them both out UNLESS she can find a way to qualify on her own - paying advanced rent, getting a second job, finding a room mate, getting assistance.

Given I am in a college town and a lot of students find themselves between leases over the summer, during breaks etc.

I find myself being very bullish towards MFA syndications here in Phoenix, this year.

You could negotiate with the seller to provide a credit towards your closing costs or reduce the purchase price.
