This post is probably a little too sentimental for some of you here, but here goes...A few years ago, my brother and I inherited the house we grew up in.

I grew up near Chicago and most people try to get me to return on the freshwater premise.It's a real concern in the macro view, but I think jobs and quality of life will be the bigger stories in the decade.

I grew up in Brigantine.

I grew up here in Indiana, served with 2/5 as an infantry Marine after graduating high school in 2000.

@Michael Ford I grew up in Fayetteville, and my mom is still there so I go back often.

I grew up with Eichlers never lived in one but a bunch of my grade school friends did.in Portland they knocked them off and call them Rummers  they sell for a big premium in our market

We usually find these buyers are out of state (typically California) with some nostalgic attachment to the area--either grew up here or went to school here.If you look at the alternatives these two types of buyers have--first time home buyer who qualifies for under $150K and can go FHA, and the California buyer with $100K who wants some degree of geographic familiarity--what are their other investment opportunities that will do better for them if they're not in the business?

I grew up in Lakeville!

My name is George Frick and I'm a software developer and homeowner in the Milwaukee area; specifically Bay View.My wife and I are looking to buy our first duplex in the Bay View area for long term buy and hold.I grew up the son of a contractor working for many of Milwaukee's landlords refurbishing apartments between tenants.

I grew up in Groton, I live in North Stonington and I am investing (buy and holds) in New London.
