I've followed BP for a while now but I have finally started taking steps toward achieving my goals. 10 years ago I wish I had entered the industry, rather than going back to school for my degree in education.

One of our immediate concerns is the school year is just starting now.

Is he in school? 

i was exploring and saw some of the neighborhoods in kyle, Tx has school ratings like 8 and brand new houses in the range of 300K with potential rents at $2200 per month so overall making them cash flow positive. however, i am not sure why Kyle is a popular place. it is mid way between austin and san antonio but that does not seem to be a strong enough reason. 

Currently, I am taking a gap year between high school and college and want to use this time to learn as much as possible about investing in real estate.

My father in law a 7th grade drop out self made millionaire used to say "KISS" keep it simple stupid..... he died 3 years ago I sure miss him.  

Hi, I have been on Biggerpockets and reading all the information i can get.We are getting ready to buy our first out of state investment property and looking in Austin.Looking for advise on which area is better, RR looks to be closer to the tech offices and some parts have great schools however Pflugerville is not too far either and schools are not abysmal like in proper Austin and the prices are lower.

With the start of the school year, many residents are reluctant to pick up and move.

As services are reduced, this leads to increased crime rates and lower-quality schools, which in turn causes more people to leave.What are the requirements for a city to attract new employers?

SFH deal with schools, jobs, paint color, yard size, etc.
