They are nearing retirement and have children in school.

.: We just this week bought a 6 unit building in a top notch suburban school system for $615,000 with gross rents of $4615, but to make the deal cashflow (barely), had to raise the gross monthly rents to $6570 on 4/1.

We currently have 10 single family properties in the best school districts and we self manage.

After high school, I pursued a career in the military, where I proudly served for seven years.

Look for a location with low crime, then look for the neighborhoods with the best schools.

For instance:If your area has many corporate offices or conference centers, you're likely to attract business travelers.Family-friendly suburbs with parks and schools often attract families.Downtown locations near nightlife are popular for groups and parties.Review Competitor ListingsSearch for successful Airbnb listings in your area and study their target audience based on:The language in their descriptions.Their reviews (guests often reveal the purpose of their stay).The amenities they offer (e.g., desks and Wi-Fi for professionals, cribs and baby gates for families).Evaluate Your Own SpaceYour property’s layout, amenities, and location may naturally cater to a specific audience.A cozy 1-bedroom apartment downtown might be ideal for professionals or couples.A 3-bedroom house with a yard might appeal more to families.Proximity to nightlife might cater to party groups.Experiment and AdjustIf you're unsure, start broad and monitor who books your property.

I am not a tax adviser and barely graduated high school so I am not sure if I would listne to me. 

I am not going to move into a dormitory style house and raise my two year old in a location with poor schools and incredibly dense housing, unless I have no other option. 

Also the school districts have been increasing property taxes in A LOT of investment properties thus eating some of our profits.
