With moderate rent.

So I figure a decent sized family home with moderate upgrades (i.e. kitchen (countertops, sink), bathroom, bedroom (closets), possibly hardwood floors) would get buyers.

When flipping homes, would you rather do a light to moderate rehab and see a quick profit or do you do a longer more extensive rehab to see maximum profit?

Yes, I sure did. it was to pay for additional administrative and/or additional activities required which were unforeseen at the time the lease was made, the agreed rents were also a tad under market rents and fees were not cumulative adding one infraction on top of another, so even with additional charges rents were not excessive.The basis was for the time required to address these unforeseen matters, charge was by the hour and the time spent or claimed was actual or my estimate and never excessive and was rarely used.The lease was approved under HUD regulations by/and our City Attorney for low/moderate income tenants under an economic development program where a "funny money" loan was assumed on the property, I bought the property from the city.  

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.

But in general I am taking a moderately conservative approach and happy to pay a little extra to ensure quality service.

put in a new garage in investment grade/blue-collar (low-moderate income) neighborhoods if there isn't one?
