There are handymen that will school your *** and have been licensed longer than you.

My fiance is in dental school for a couple of more years, so we're just now to maintain flexibility until we know where we are going to settle.

@Jenna Herr are schools your only priority?

It should have good schools, a good government that protects private property rights, and a legal system that treats Landlords fairly.

See that's the thing...a low crime area with better schools / nicer properties will have much lower cash flow than higher crime areas, but a better chance for appreciation.

I have built up my stock portfolio enough to cover all costs for purchasing my first 4 unit multifamily and will do so once I graduate from school. 

Also, while this home is in an excellent area with great schools, its located on a very busy road.  

Local government workers, hospitals, schools etc.

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 just know it's a safe bet with growing population, good taxes, good schools, fair laws.
