To note, it seems the only zip codes where the big rent disparities exist is middle and upper class neighborhoods (this makes me think HUD is trying to incentivize section 8 in better neighborhoods/school districts).

You can get great tenants willing to pay as you have Caltech, JPL, The hospitals, Medical schools, Private High Schools and Elementary schools all within the city! 

There are two hospitals with one of them currently building a medical school to be completed March of 2025.

The home is located in a Master Plan neighborhood with good schools, nice amenities, etc.My plan is to then move out of the 2nd home in a year and rent it for an actual profit and move into a new home using my wife's VA loan entitlement. 

The school district we are in right now is okay, the school district about 10 minutes away is significantly better.

I see the schools get pretty good ratings, but I would like to also appeal to a broader audience.Any insight on the general vibe of those areas would be much appreciated!

Just buy an 'uglier' house in a good school district.

I want you to tell me where the old lead smelters were, which parts of town are on the uptick and which ones are war zones.I will depend on you to tell me where the best school district borders are and how to tap into all your trusted resources and advisors. 

I am a 3rd-year college student seeking to jump right into real estate once I am out of school.

I found a school that allowed me to download their material and I listened to it in my car.
