Section 8 Question (Garage Conversion)
Hello BP, Looking to make an offer on a duplex, one side of the duplex has a 2 car attached garage. 1 of the garages has been converted to an additional bedroom and I would like to convert the second garage into an additional bedroom as well. The converted bedrooms have & will have a window, closet, and central AC & Heat, they are good size rooms. This will take one of the units from a 2 bed one bath to a 4 bed one bath.
My Question is the following......
Will section 8 count the converted garages as additional bedrooms when applying for a Voucher? The difference between a two bedroom voucher and 4 bedroom voucher is substantial. The bedrooms will have direct access from inside the unit. Thank you in advance for your response.
