These homes have been a little of a challenge as both required moderate renovations to increase bedrooms and cosmetically improve.

I've noticed there is a decent strip that is situated between two moderate crime areas...just blocks away. 

We have built our portfolio on low to moderate income pptys; the ROI, at least on a forecasted basis, is much better, and we focus on cash flow and not appreciation. 

Lot's of fixer uppers in moderate income neighborhoods.What areas are you looking in?

Spats do happen, but we eventually make up-LOL).Thanks Josh, Brandon, Moderators and Team!

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers special loans to help both low- and moderate-income families purchase housing.

I would invest about half in a low-cost index fund (something with moderate to low returns and risk) with Vanguard or Fidelity or some other "low fee" funds.

So, let's say there were 1,000 grads and 100 of those grads made a profit, that would be 10% success rate just to make a profit.Now, let's say 10 of the grads made $100k in profits... that would mean 1% moderately successful grads.AND NOW let's say 1 of the grads make $1 Million Dollars..... that would be .1% was EXTREMELY successful.What I'm trying to say is are you able to get any idea of the success rate of the program?

Moderator, definitely not trying to do deals in this thread.
