KEY QUOTE:
On Investing in Single-family homes in Elite School Districts:
“This model works because of accessibility. If you're looking to move into one of these good school districts for 4-6 years for multiple kids, renting makes more sense than buying a house. “
SUMMARY OF BUSINESS:
At Scholastic Capital, we create the opportunity for investors to partner with us through our laser focused strategy of buying single family homes in elite school districts and renting them to families on 3+ year leases. Our investors love our planned monthly distributions, equity growth, depreciation pass through, minimal use of leverage, and the multi-year leases to tenants.
Scholastic Capital is a rolling, evergreen fund that continuously admits new capital. New investors will have an immediate interest in the underlying portfolio of single-family homes in high end school districts.
