Thanks Charlie! i appreciate your input. Yes, im well aware of that fees of the Attorney.
What about the Mortgage balance that is still unpaid? Do i nees a partial lien to sell the first condo after conversion? do you have any info about the case of carrying a Mortgage and doing conversion?
Are there any banks/lenders that lend money to allow this kind of projects?
Any recommendation will be appreciated.

Yes, you will find yourself in situation where 75% of the total rent does not cover the PITI.
The debt you carry plays a role in this qualification. You can increase the downpayment or find a cheaper property.
Having an advice from an appraisal on how the rent will be in the area you searching may help because i did underestimated the rent when i had the same situation.

only locals can tell you how hot a market is because they know it more than others who even do statistics.
i would vote for Boston, MA as hot city but the entry point is a bit high. The surounding towns are also great, Chelsea, East Bostom, Everett, Malden, Revere, Lynn....

i vote for #2. but there are limits.
why dont you do an FHA LOAN instead? and you only need as little as 3.5 you can do more like 10%.
