I grew up in Encinitas and as an adult have rented Downtown (Embarcadero area), Pacific Beach (Crown Point), and Ocean Beach. 

I grew up in a poor environment.

I grew up in the Lansing area and recently moved back after living in Connecticut for 6 years. 

However, I feel like development has followed the money to bigger and bigger projects, I'd do the same if I had massive capital that I grew through the recovery. 

Some more background: I grew up in Western New York (Niagara Falls, Buffalo).

Assuming I get the sale price where the numbers will work, here is the scenario put as short as possible:Owner lives on the same street as my parents and where I grew up.

Specifically I am interested in properties in Euclid as I grew up there and have intimate knowledge of the area.

I grew up in what I would a call “C” class mentality household and although we never trashed a place and in fact my mom would shampoo and repaint before we left, we typically got evicted due to late or missed payments(personally I haven’t missed a due date on a single payment since I was 18). 

I grew up in Illinois and have moved around for work over the past decade living in Wichita, KS, Denver, CO and now Nashville.

I grew up in the area so I'm familiar with the good and bad areas around where I'm looking to invest.
