Congrats on escaping "analysis paralysis" There's a ton of information available and the more you read the more you realize you don' know.  

I havent looked much into VA or NACA loans, however, my brother @Clay Manship and I are both familiar with Steve and what his company does.

You will be luck to escape the deal.  

@Chanté Owens  Yes I went down there for a week, which is not a lot but my brother, his girlfriend and her family is down there, so I know some people that will help me get accustomed to the culture there.

In the past 50+ years our poor lived in inner city ghettos and the wealthy escaped to their suburban McMansions.

There is a woman on here that has done exactly what you are planning on, her name escapes me at the moment, but spend some time here on BP and you'll run across her posts.The most important thing you must remember is to be cognoscente of what kind of investments you are making when you buys your various buildings.  

I have a HELOC that I use to lend for my brother's flips (no equity position, family hard money rate) and I can see I probably need to get into an equity position to improve my returns.

in common areas to make people think big brother is still watchingI know this is a bold first step but I am confident I can handle it, I just want to make sure the deal makes sense.

The name of the recent Act escapes me, google "Foreclosure HUD Certified Credit Counselor Federal Law" I'm sure that will bring it up.
