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. 

Battery Park City Exchange (New York City): The city of New York engaged in a land swap with the Battery Park City Authority, allowing for the creation of a new public school and affordable housing units in exchange for a parcel of land that was then developed into a high-value commercial property. 5.

I briefly worked in commercial lending after I finished grad school and that really opened my eyes to the inner working of that industry.

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

Focus on areas with good schools and infrastructure for reliable tenants.

I like option 2 to diversify the investments in 3 smaller rental propertires, 3/2 around 1500 sqft, in good school districts which will open the biggest pool of tenants. 

It was built in the 2010s and located in an established neighborhood with convenient access to schools, amenities, and major transportation routes.

Hi everyone,My name is Luis, and I’m starting real estate school on January 2nd.

These I have found are real, striving parents, working their butts off to provide the best housing and school system for their children.My ethos in this approach is exactly why we at LaPlante refer to them as Residents, as we consider "Tenant and Landlord" to be dated terms and rife with negative emotion.

The leases look like (3) 10+ years and (4) 2-4 year leasesHow would you approach and I know there's going to be different schools of thought and that's what I'm looking for.
