In fact the one thing that investors should keep in mind is, to make any neighborhood stable and vital there must be a mix of housing, people, and financial ability... high end, middle end, as well as affordable. 

That may mean joint venturing with someone else and splitting profits to achieve that but any successful investor in it for the long haul realizes education and connections are an investment in your business and are vital in building your reputation in the industry on the right foot.
