As far as expenses, I just use a simple Excel spreadsheet and an old school notebook to write down info about each house (if it's on well or septic, city water, which electric company, school districts, etc.).

For starters research East English,university District,Bagley,Fitzgerald .

Besides the property, he has Municipal Utility District bonds that will close in 7 months, proceeds to be used to pay off a loan if the SFR developer is unable to lose.

These are not investments, these are families moving into a better school district, with kids being enrolled subject not to an address, but to an accepted offer. 

(East to west) lehigh to the blvd. ( south to north) city planning commission plans on developing broad and Erie in to the center city of the north district.

If so, put in the listing info on the schools K-12: Unit is in the district of ABC Elementary School, rated 3/10 by GreatSchools Rating.Are the bedrooms far apart?

If school districts take priority, then 12 and 20 are good. 

Look for homes in the Jack Britt school district

Big cities are selling off school buildings as charters pull more and more kids out of the district every year.

@Michael Evans, my understanding is that the law is being enforced by the Sonoma County District Attorney's office.
