My Midwest up-bringing tells me to stay away from such people.

. - Please do as your upbringing, pockets, and values guide.gena

They have manifested themselves in me for much of my life and, for me, are a product of my upbringing.

I don't care who is looking I'm picking it up bringing it home and putting it in my container lol

They will only live in a "better" grade home, in a "better" neighborhood, and they treat the property better because they had a better upbringing.

Ended up bringing my Father-In-Law with me and used his veterans discount.  

It's unfortunate that most of us are tied to our social/earnings strata as a result of upbringing, and it's a vicious cycle from which most cannot break out.

I'm getting married in July, and decided to get into real estate investing to build my portfolio and give my family a better life than the humble upbringings I had.  

I grew up in a country and culture where you can trust almost everyone.My upbringing strongly emphasized ethics, kindness and generosity as the most important personal attributes.American culture seems to support notions that greed is good and its like a competition of who can claw their way to them top at the peril of others.I have tried to adapt but I have no intention to stay in this sterile, cold and dangerous environment long term. 

The right strategy for you has so much to do with age, goals, disposable income, upbringing and time.
