Always had a particular love for the atmosphere of real estate- but grew up not having any background not only in real estate, but money as well.

I grew up there too. 

I grew up on 16th st. and now staying on 10th in my brother's property. 

Given the issue took 4 weeks to reach a temporary solution, maybe you could have looked into renting a portable or temporary unit immediately after the first expert told you this problem would be difficult to fix. 4 weeks with now circulating air in 100 degree weather is brutal - I know, I grew up in central Florida, where we don't have the luxury of the ocean breeze.

My home is two blocks from where Ted Williams grew up, and where San Diego really got its metropolitan start.

I grew up in the area but have lived in okc since 2001 and don't know the area wellHow much rent should I expect (ballpark range) for a 4bed 2 bath C class house in that area?

I actually grew up there and all my family lives there, so I won't be going in totally cold.  

Looking back I'm so glad ive bought in the town/area where I grew up in.

These could be areas they are familiar with (grew up there, have family there, etc) or areas where houses are less expensive, vacancy rates are low.
