Hi,I'm looking to purchase a home for my mother in Grand Prairie, TX 75051/75052 with the following criteria.Price Range: 100K-180K3+bedrooms/2bathPreferably in South Grand Prairie High School DistrictPreferably less than $85/sq.ft.

@Shayne Fee I mean you could go around and get disclosure packets and all but that is old school what I do since I have MLS or even if you dont have MLS is you can look at redfin and setup auto alerts.

Beware though, the school boards are getting smart and if they see a mortgage for an amount higher than the tax value, they can file a complaint and subpeona you and the lender for sales information and any appraisals that were done in connection with the sale or financing.

Can you guys please make specific suggestions on what areas/neighborhoods/school districts/etc should I be targeting in the Indy market?

Also, what everyone forgets about on BP, is what you are buying it for (schools, kids, family, etc.) all get factored into primary residence purchases.

Harvard has an extension program that offers some classes that seem like they would be valuable, as well as some other State schools.  

When I got out of school, I saved until I was ready to buy my first property.

I'm originally from Riverside and never really explored REI until I moved to GA and graduated college but part of the reason I never moved home after school was the cost of living lol.

Because the township and county tax year just ended a few weeks ago (and they are the generally much lower amounts in the area I'm marketing to as opposed to the school tax amounts), I'm running into very small amounts......like $10-$50.
