I grew my portfolio to 30 properties in 1 year and 100 in 3 years.

I grew up in this town and mortgaged property that was passed down to me.

My wife is from Jersey, and I am always struck by the similarities between where she grew up and the Berwyn/Forest Park markets I invest in here in Illinois.

Welcome to the area, what a crazy coincidence to have someone from Brevard move here, I grew up in Asheville and went to high school in Hendersonville.I'm an investor here and VP of the local REIA, you should come by our meetings and introduce yourself. 

If you have any more specific questions about Stockton just let me know, grew up there so I know it like the back of my hand.

@Rick Jones hey Rick I grew up in the area and my brother is still local.

When I first started out I didn't need much space however as I grew (i.e. buying more cars to sell at a time) I needed more space.

I grew up in Sacramento and my family still lives there, so I have a connection to the place. 

I grew up in Bryan/College Station and also went to Texas A&M, so the B/CS area is what I know best and that is where my focus has been. 

We were all flying high for a good number of years, then the number of str's grew so large that the locals lost their minds and started fighting tooth and nail against us.
