Cottage Grove is perceived as moderate in household incomes but that isn't actually accurate.  

I will have guaranteed rent as it's my father which will be (moderately) cash flow positive.

Moderate to a lot of deferred maintenance.Once I get it cleaned up should be able to rent units for total of 6700/mo.

i'd take this on if it was in my area. as long as the exterior walls are standing, i consider everything else moderate rehab. i can do it a lot cheaper, but i have experience. try to connect with some of the people in your area that do major projects and partner with them. sound like a cool flip.

@Stephen AuHey Stephen,Congratulations on doing SOMETHING to set yourself up for financial independence - Honestly, at your age, it will be hard to make a bad LONGTERM decision wherever you decide to invest - In fact, just acquiring investment property at your age will pay HUGE returns over time - Time is the most important concept when investing - Time makes even moderate investment today seem like genius ten or fifteen years down the road - My advice -Live below your means and invest every available penny in real estate as quickly as possible - Keep a nice pile of cash available for emergencies

For example, You pay $400,000 for a duplex in a moderate to high crime neighborhood with taxes at $12k per year.....

Do you plan to rent to low income, moderate or higher income?

Moderate upgrades. 

And also what type of rentals are more in demand, low-income housing, moderate-income or high end real estate?

For these, we're looking to find and work with joint venture or financial partners from BP or beyond.MY QUESTION TO THE FORUM:  Without running the risk of upsetting the BP moderators, if my team and I do come across any strong opportunities, what would be best/legal way to promote them on BP?
