We are prepared to accept moderate credit challenges on buyer's part.

One very nice thing is that buyers (moderate income buyers typically up to about $80k annual family income) in small towns and rural areas are eligible for USDA financing w/ zero down.

The ultimate goal is to generate enough revenue over the next 15 years to develop three moderate sized ($100K each) 529 plans to be used toward our three kids' college educations.I am just starting out and haven't decided whether to buy and hold, flip, or wholesale.

I know being an agent is more difficult than people expect, but even if I have moderate success it will create a huge start for my portfolio (I will be living at home = 100% profit!).

The U.S. government has very aggressively in numerous forced interest rates to be low and remain low.When interest rates rise to more realistic market levels, and interest rates may be very high due to the 3 Trillion the US government is holding in bonds (recall the Jimmy Carter days), there will be more buyers for more moderately priced real estate with good finance terms.

If you are the moderator, and it's important to you, post threads sometimes to get it out there.

I'd say the area is in need of moderate income rentals, as is most of western Ar up to the Mo line.

Generally a moderate amount of repairs that do not encompass any of the big ticket items: roof, electrical, foundation, hvac, etc....

Most of the lots that have sold in that area recently seem to only have gone for around 1-2k.Some of the recently sold comps in the area for investor prices purchases are:$11 sq/ft - moderate repairs.$15 sq/ft$19 sq/ftThere were no properties recently sold that required this extent of repairs.Comps for what is for sale in the area that is comparable is about $20 a sq/ft.
