Investing in a bad school district

[Parker Doyle]

I am currently looking to buy my first property and I made the decision to stay local to minimize my learning curve. I found a nice 2 bedroom 2 bathroom with great potential at $103,000 asking for an 8k down payment. The only problem I’m having is that the high school isn’t known to be good(2/10 on greatschools). My question is, does this matter? Buying my own home I always look at the quality of the schools in the area as an indication to be able to sell, but I’m not sure if as an investor this is something I should pay attention to? If not, what else should I be looking for?
