Does the area have an especially good elementary school so people will rent just to get in it?

My main focus is on these types of long term rentals in prime school districts.

My recommendations are going to be more difficult and specific than the above, but they will serve you well for life.Learn accounting - if your high school has a course, take it, if not, get a managerial accounting book and learn the basics.Learn MS Excel - there is not a single real estate investment that can't be modeled using MS Excel, and know how to use it well will put you light years ahead of your peers.These two action items alone will make a huge difference in your future.My last piece of advice would be to start changing the way that you think.

You've graduated from Kiyosaki's E-quadrant to the B & I quadrant.

And so since I had not properly introduced myself before, here we go:Began as an Electrical Engineering Major, switched to double majoring in Mathematics & Math Education, graduated and taught high school math for a few years, started a family and stayed home.

You want distressed properties in good working class areas, with good schools!

I went to school in Dayton and my brother went to Toledo.

Currently, I am a stay-at-home dad which recently graduated from law school and passed the CA bar.

I may be relocating to Florida and would like to explore rent to own properties but so far websites only want me to check my credit and have little available inventory.Looking in the Coral Springs area and would be willing to pay $3000 monthly if the school system is good.MODERATOR:  FOLKS THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION TO BUY A HOUSE. 

Is renting to fellow college students I meet in school a bad idea?
