I learned more useful information about real estate in those 35 hours than my entire time in school!  

I've always loved real estate and my original goal, when I got out of school, was to become a broker but the insurance field opened up better at the time.  

Try to make sure they feed the same elementary school, and try not to cross any major streets.3. 

I get financial aid for school so i'm good.The reason i'm broke is because I helped my mother acquire a SFR so she could own her own home and stop wasting money renting I gave her about $12000 total.

If it goes to auction, it may sell for $450 depending on area and schools.  

This isn't for a specific property, but just a general question I have been thinking about.If you have a nice SF residence in a good school district (which would likely be one of the key features of the rental), how much would you drop the rent if it wasn't rented by the start of the school year?  

There are other areas in DFW where you can meet the returns you want and still be in a good area (A/B) with good schools.

I have been working full time as an electrician for the last 4 years right out of high school.

Pull credit..I spend time reviewing it to find out what's not paid and why not..mostly medical and school loan stuff will accept..utilities and lot of charge offs not paid is usually bad sign(recent)...this is totally subjective4.  

Seems like there are two schools of thought.
