Eric Fernwood Are Properties in the Best School Districts the Best Rentals?
30 March 2023 | 11 replies
To me all the school rating seems to be the obedience to authority level of the students who go there.I don't think it has much to do with length of a renter to stay put.Anyone can live anywhere they want (or they or Section-8 can afford).Forever renters (IMO) seems to stay put longer, if they have market equal housing, are treated like customers vs pests, maintenance requests are handled promptly, and rent increases do not jump too huge for them too quickly (and in some instances do not have relationship issues/breakups or are PITA Renters to the owner or other renters.A forever renter example might be Mr works retail, Mrs works waitress, kids or not, or Ms. is a hairdresser and sister Ms. is a receptionist, or Section-8 working or not.A non-long term renter might be Mr. is going through law school or is an MD in the area for residency time, or other person on a career path that typically includes home ownership.I'm not talking here about any type of protected classes here, which would be against the Fair Housing Laws, because it's important we all follow the laws.As far as the schools go:They teach you how to read and writeThey teach you how to countThey teach you how to buy and sellYour own body by the poundDon't be blind to the factThat the hand you holdIs the hand that holds you down.As I said above, to me, all the school rating  seems to be the obedience to authority level of the students who go there.It's not that I'm anti-school--it's just that they ALL could be so much better.It just seems like babysitting and jumping through useless hoops.Just my 2 cents.https://www.youtube.com/watch?
