Howto: Section 8 housing buying, lending and tenant

Hey BP Heroes!

I found this nice little tear down that runs about $15k US asking and would love to turn it into an affordable section 8 house.  How do I get started?  For example, who can perform loans on section 8?  How about the construction?  Is tenant finding a government "thing" or is that my job as a landlord? 

Also if hard money is needed would you recommend if the ARV is solid and the numbers work out?

    Maybe I should clarify the above since it is fairly wide in scope.  

    Has anyone used either an FHA construction or construction-to-permanent loan?

    How did it work out?  

    How much skin in the game did you have to have?

    I am not sure what you mean by FHA construction...getting an FHA loan? building a home that will meet section 8 standards? I am a private lender and have loaned for purchase and construction but only short term. I insist on 10% of the purchase price and closing costs as far as skin in the game.
