Effect of school district on rental market

[Lulu Nguyen]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to buy a property in Sacramento/Elk Grove area. I found a couple on the border of Sac/Elk Grove and in the good Elk Grove school district. However, the nearby schools are not that highly rated (5-7) compared to a couple of lesser properties in Elk Grove proper (smaller square footage and fewer bedrooms, worse condition). I am buying to rent out and wonder how this influence the rentability of the properties. Thank you all for your help.
