Family- proximity to schools, parks, big yard, etc, older folks-peace & quiet, easy access.  

We have two middle school kids in a very small home.

I went to school in Philly and have lived in Old City fro 3 years (renting).

You also have to take into consideration the area - make sure the houses are in the same neighborhood and be zoned to the same schools.

Use  his skill set to find value add properties in areas that are in good school districts.

I'm sure there is some outlier somewhere, but just like a unicorn, I've never seen one.If I had $200,000, I'd buy SFH, 90% LTV, worth $2,000,000 scattered in good owner-occupied neighborhoods with good schools, low crime and near employment. 

I've checked Crime and Schools and it looks really good. 

I'm currently enrolled in school, with approximately 2 yrs left.

In my case, to payout $1K a month and the added fees, it doesn't make sense as I have little work (average of 5 hours a month) and just the occasional departures or evictions every couple of years.Besides, with the kids out of school and basically out of the house, Bigger Pockets would be less one Pro member if I just stayed home all day long with the wife ! 

They are frantic. 3 kids, a dog and school still in session on April 1, of course.
