That's how I grew my portfolio beyond the first 5 single family properties I had in the beginning. 

@Jason Appel I don't have experience investing in that market but your post stopped me short because that's where I grew up.

@Chad Ellerbrock I grew up in Findlay and am in the process of closing on a portfolio of 6 homes there / looking for more.

Grew up in Southern California and now live in Arizona.

I grew up in Skaneateles and I invest in Auburn.

I grew up there and my parents and siblings all still live in the area, but I wouldn't touch it with a 39.5 foot pole.  

Wanted to take on a big Project in an area I grew up.

A conversation grew from there and she gave all the dirt on the seller:(he and his brother bought some land in south GA and build a new house and has neglected this house for over 10 years until recent the county stated getting on him and he finally came and cut the grass and remove the vines growing on the house) Great information!

If you grew up in Hamilton, you no doubt have seen many changes over the years.

@Deion Moore I grew up in Worcester as own a multi family there.
