Perhaps (for the parent demographic of tenant) but why don’t you list the exact public schools here which serve your rental house, paramount? As we all know, school quality varies wildly among schools in the same district.
What is the percentage of prospective tenants out there who are parents of school-age children?
And how much extra in monthly rent is a particular public school actually “worth” to a prospective tenant and will tenants actually overpay for a particular rental (all physical attributes about the property being equal to its competition) if its corresponding public school(s) are good.
It doesn’t sound like $1750 mo is actually a great deal of rent to collect for a 1500 sf SFR (putting you in the hole by at least $200 mo, not counting repairs, replacements and vacancies). That’s on the low end and just might get you a 2/1/1 1000-1100 sf SFR in Chula Vista, where the schools are very good, btw, and the avg teacher tenure likely far exceeds the avg tenure of teachers in a school district of a newer area (such as Temecula) by a landslide. Tenants seeking this level of rent in a SFR likely aren’t members the “educated professional set” themselves.
Teacher experience and competency means everything. These two attributes go hand in hand, no matter where the school district is or its supposed “reputation” (among the ignorant masses).
scaredy, as you may be aware, experience and tenure eliminates the “`dumbness’ factor” in public school teaching staff :=]
