Good schools?

Being so new to the area, however, I still do not know which specific areas or neighborhoods around DFW that are good locations in which to buy (low crime, good schools nearby, fair rent, etc.).

I went to the U of A for grad school, BTW, and fattened many a landlord purse while there...

We started with Lithia, FL as we have military family that gave great reviews of the area (ie. fish hawk highly rated schools, increasing property values, military family renting in the area). 

I just got out of high school and throughout the last ten years I have been saving up money to invest in real estate.

I recently graduated college and landed a great job.

Now, when the graduate also has a $350 car payment, increased insurance costs, $7,000 in credit card debt, and goes on multiple vacations per year that cost $1,200, that is where they get in trouble. 

It's in 44721 which is Plain Local school district.

The AHA requires all tenants to work or be in school if they aren’t disabled, so I like the tenant pool better than the other S8 programs in the area.

Anybody in the Philadelphia area feel free to reach out to me, I would like to build a network and potentially find a job opportunity for post-graduation.
