@Michelle CherianThere are three kinds of property taxes every property owner pays in Allegheny County, because they must pay tax to three different entities: the county, the local municipality, and the school district.Allegheny County Tax: current at 4.73 millsLocal Municipality Rate: https://apps.alleghenycounty.us/website/millmuni.aspLocal School District Rate: https://apps.alleghenycounty.us/website/millsd.aspIf you own a property in the city property, you receive a combined Pittsburgh City Tax and Pittsburgh Public Schools tax bill.

Small town, good schools.

Some draw backs are high crime rates, old homes and low ranking schools. 

Plus the school district is pretty good. 

The properties in Madison are very desirable based on the school system. 

It has excellent schools systems and investors are competing with home buyers for deals that are not full rehabs. 

Check out Joe Fairless Apartment Syndication School.https://joefairless.com/apartment-syndication-school/They have a bunch of free resources as well. 

Those area I will more want the home with schools rating 8+.I also looked at Lake Nona area near the airport but I feel above 2 are better?

Crime is a fraction of what is in most of Detroit. and public schools are good generally speaking. 

The East side seems like CoC opportunity may be better with rental comps right around the 1% of home value number, but not sure what the demand is like over there or what the appreciation opportunity will be.Smyrna/Marietta is attractive because of the schools, but again not sure what the appreciation opportunity will be given they are a bit more mature markets.
