The majority of tenants with vouchers know how to game the system in order to continue receiving voucher assistance or increase their voucher contributions instead of using it as a leg up to move on once they have successfully increased their personal income through employment, education and training, which the point of the program.

Or there is a version for 2 to 4 unit small buildings as well but then down payment grows to 25%.Or if you agree to live in it for 12 months you can do it as an FHA 203k rehab loan with as little as 3.50% down on 1 to 4 unit properties and use future rents to qualify for the loan size needed.

What is an ideal amount I should have in my savings before I buy my first property?

Show a big bank your $400k in mutual funds and $300k in stocks and $250k in retirement, also that you don't have a bunch of rentals or self employment or landlord income, and will thus be easy to underwrite, and the big banks will stomp guts relative to anyone else.

Does anyone have any reputable recs that can take on a job this size?

I get a rough overview of what people are asking for rents for rooms in my neighborhood and then I adjust my rent for the room I'm offering based on the size of the room, number of people sharing the bathroom that room uses, time of year I am trying to rent the room (I dropped the price a little bit in the winter months to keep vacancy at almost zero.), etc.  

In some cases the percentage of ownership can be higher if a unit has a better view even if the size and layout is the same.

But it is a good size room and there is still plenty of space to spare.I wouldn't use it as a bedroom or sleep in there if I lived there, but wondering what is the best use for this room?
