I just graduated college this past year and I am looking to buy my first house hack.

That means; you never give one penny of your money to some garbage bag who tells you he (never happened with a she) will make you a profit WITH YOUR MONEY.Now, that was some great advice in regards to how to invest in real estate.The first think every child should learn when they start school is how to eliminate risks.

There's a reason you can't have a gun store or a porn shop within a certain distance of schools.

, watched a plethora of BiggerPockets podcasts/videos, and at this point pretty much spend all of my free time mock-analyzing properties and continuing to learn as much as I can from the forums, videos, and books.About me: I was born in the tri-state area, but mostly grew up and went to school in the Indian River/Brevard/Orange county areas in Florida.

There are very few multis in Verona so rents can be higher with more bedrooms to get into the school system depending on the property.

Back story:My wife and I have had plans to buy a large farmhouse on acreage, but after finding out that we're expecting our first child, we've decided to stay put in our starter home with $100k equity right next door to an elementary school that we were planning on renting out and cash flowing $400/mo.

It will probably be zoned “Residential”, butthe Railroad will not sale it without putting covenants on it, thatno human habitation (home, daycare, school, retirement home, etc) canbe built there.

I would move up north a bit, past Ross to McCandless and the North Allegheny school district.

For me, I am specifically looking for a property in an up-and-coming, well-kept neighborhood with middle and high schools, one or two established grocery stores, and a close-by walk-in clinic or pharmacy. 

There aren't any schools nearby.
