I grew up outside of Columbia, but when I actually lived in the city, I was spending my time as a tenant/student.

I grew up in Cleveland so I know the feeling.

I just made my first investment in the market I grew up in (Lexington, KY) with a couple co-investors. 

I'm looking into the NWI market because I grew up in the area and am very familiar with the neighborhoods and nuances here.

A little background on me, I am from the Houston area, my father has been plumbing new construction apartments since I was 5 so I grew up around construction sites.

I grew up there and where I actually bought my first house in 2001 (for$83k and sold for $115k in 2005 before the decline really hit). 

I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley and know most of the areas. 

I grew up in Escondido before moving to pacific beach, then downtown, now mission hills (where I’m about to add a third story to my house since I can’t bring myself to pay cash for a bigger house in this market)Not trying to bag too much on Poway but I think it’s not the best example of what SD has to offer 

I grew up in Orange and it was a rough, rough place, and Paterson had just as bad problems and reputation.

I grew up here and am a local real estate investor here in Columbus - I have 20 units across the town.
