A loan officer might be able to help you get a firm figure but for me I think they said I could go up to 600-650 between both homes so I would have needed a 2nd mortgage of about 150 or so or a down payment of 150. 

@Brandon BlackfinYou can also visit your local Section8 office and they will guide you.

I had reached out to the FBI field office earlier and they directed me to the Attorney Generals consumer affairs office which I plan to call next week.

In fact, that whole law office was full of jerks, male and female, but they get the job done. 

I spoke with the assistant director of both the building coding/permit office and planning department about it and they didn't see any issues.

My last CPA has retired and the others at that office are not real estate investors.  

You can always post on here and look for a good agent and loan officer in the area you are looking.

Maybe office. 

As you put 20% down, it might differ, but talk to your loan officer. 

I am experienced in new construction, but wondering if are there are some significant incentives to take old unused buildings in small downtowns and convert them to apartments, office space, etc.
