School Ratings for Rentals.. important or no?
Hi! I am looking to buy my first rental property as soon as I can find the right deal. Question for experienced rental property owners out there- is school rating important when it comes to a rental property? Is it a deal breaker or a non issue? What are the pros and cons- and for people that have owned rentals in good AND bad school districts, do you see a difference in cash flow or vacancy rates?
I am coming from the flip world where schools make all the difference. Just wondering if the same rules apply for rentals.
Thanks!!
