Personally, I found the rent option appealing because it allowed my family to move into a better school district. Not to mention our rental income exceeds the rent we pay. Searching for homes by school district is really hard though, so I built this tool that can help parents find great Chicago schools with homes available right now within their budget: http://schoolsparrow.com. I wish I had this when I was searching for schools....I would have considered other neighborhoods that are less expensive than we live now with similar school quality.
Nice work, Coonley Dad. I'm interested. Please contact me (847 266 7906 and dennis@rodkin.com).
