It's down the road from our high school, an elementary school, and the main drag.

*Side note for those who are willing to read beyond an introduction (also wasn't sure where to post this...is there a section for careers/schools?)

I plan to look at a house near 85 and in Peachtree Ridge High school and possibly buy it. 

There are many school of thoughts on the subject.

Not much concerned about cashflow, just equity and payoff so the home flows almost all profit in another 12+ years.A buddy of mine has an 1200 sqft 3/2 in a decent area with good elem and middle schools and just ok high school.He bought about 10 years ago at 125K. 

Now if you're looking for blue collar tenants, you might want to understand which areas are low crime and average-rated schools.

Do you recommend any school or method?

This is a place where families still live close together, when you meet someone for the first time you will be asked where you went to school (and I am not talking University), and outsiders are not exactly trusted.

There's typically two schools of thought on how to evaluate costs:LPTA: Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable.

Idylwood near East End is a cute little place that you may like, and could probably get decent roommates that are grad, law, or med students (proximity to all schools).
