I don’t know your circumstances obviously or your goals so it’s hard to comment in any way other than a general perspective.  

Account Closed Gaining a big-picture perspective helped me overcome the fear and analysis paralysis when I first got started.

If it was rhetorical, please say say and I’ll not share my perspectives.

Hoping to get some perspectives from the community.

I would like some others perspective, because if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 

Sounds like you've got your answer ^^ but I'll add my pro educator perspective anyways.Charter schools are public schools, and I would definitely include them in my analysis UNLESS they happen to be ones with an incredibly long waitlist.

I am a HML and I’m always happy to hop in a call or zoom and let you fire questions at me and give you my perspective as well as best practices and what you might expect in a transaction such as this.  

I own a property that is a minute away,  from an imaginary border town that has many restrictions, in a town with no restrictions and the returns are just as good (and way better from a yield perspective), it just doesn’t have the fancy zip code. 

However there are 2 or 3 HML in these markets that have a full service.IE they track all the courthouse steps sales.. they then bid for you and once you win the sale they put the HML on the property once the sherrifs deed or Trustee's deed is received..from a HML perspective its genius I would have done it personally but we got so tangled up in the GFC  we had to pivot.But what they do is this.1. you must deposit 20% of the opening bid amount with them prior to the sale  so if opening bid is 300k you need 60k deposit.2. you pay a bidding fee  usually a % like a commish of the winning bid  3.

Make sure you have an open communication with them about this since they will probably be able to provide you good perspective on the situation.
