@Marizel Ashby I can help get you out of the analysis paralysis as I have done for many new investors like you.

Thanks for reaching out!

I've been renting out a couple properties for a few years, and recently have turned my attention towards the idea of section 8 housing.

Here’s how this typically works in commercial real estate:1.

I joined BP after you posted this.

As you venture to try and find what cities/areas to buy in might I suggest this resourcehttps://www.areavibes.com/This is a great website to get an over view/starting point for what the neighborhoods are like. 

I’d be very grateful for any advice or recommendations on how best to approach these modifications.Also if I were to refinance in the future to pull out cash from the property, is this something that banks could refuse to lend on if I have code violations of lets say a wall that was moved or removed?

What documents are absolutely needed.

Would you get them out of there when the lease expires?  

While subsidies and other initiatives have their merits, I genuinely believe that adjusting zoning laws to encourage diverse housing options could have the biggest impact across Texas.If you're ever interested in discussing this further or exploring investment opportunities in Austin or even Phoenix, feel free to reach out.
