School district importance in house search

[John K.]

Hi,

I’m a newbie. A friend suggested setting the high school rating above 7 in the Redfin search engine, along with other filters, for my house search. This is to ensure I’m buying a property in a good neighborhood and that it will be easier to rent out the rooms, reducing the risk as much as possible. This will be my first property. I wanted to get your opinion to see if this is solid advice. How do you find properties? What other filters should I enable? I’m researching single and multi-family houses.
