He grew up in that area and moved back there about 5 years ago, so he knows the ends and outs of the smaller towns we're investing in there.

I grew up in St.

However, I have a lot of family here and grew up here. 

I grew up in construction and learned from my Dad: "never let a contractor get a nickel ahead of you." 

I grew up in the greater-Lansing area, living in Okemos, Mason, Lansing and East Lansing over the 20 years I was there. 

@Dung Nguyen I’m in the process of purchasing my first in Fall River (grew up here) but honestly the prices in New Bedford are not bad at all, you can find 3 units for low 300s easy.

I grew up in Decatur.

I grew up there and have two rental properties in Berryhill school district.

We invest 2300 miles away because I grew up in the area and have roots and connects still.
