How much do school rating influence a purchase?
Was wondering how much does the school rating influence you on a purchase. I want to target single homes for families to rent to and I think in my case, schools will have a large influence on my rentals. Do you agree? What is the threshold?
So I found a home that has a 4/4/6 school rating on great schools. But the SFH 3bdr home is 15% below market value and needs minimal repairs. It meets the 50% rule. Will this still be a good deal with the low school rating?
