Think about your favorite childhood memories and the home where they took place.

Take care of your bride and family first.I worked my way through college in restaurants.

A childhood friend of mine owns a place on Haggin that she inherited from her grandmother.

There were a few slight distractions like figuring out financing, selling a neighboring lot (that I had also acquired via letter writing) on Craigslist, rent out my RV, rent out my house, make my first ever documentary film (a twenty minute short called Kara, Star Of The World about a woman with a traumatic brain injury from a childhood ski accident), take any photo and video work I could get, start a 360 photography company, create social media channels to hype the build, parent two small kids, do a beautiful and excruciating tandem mountain bike ride across Scotland, drive my family on RV trips to Colorado/Arizona/Utah/Nevada/California/Wisconsin/Minnesota/Michigan/Florida, attempt to write a novel and adopt a puppy.The above may read as humble brag, it is not.

Reminds me of Maine, where I spent some of my childhood (another place people are buying into for the same reasons).

Hi all,There is a distressed property I have had my eye on for several years that is in extremely close proximity to a property from my childhood, and an area I would like to own in.  

It's my childhood home.

Of course I realize lots of people grew up poor, or discriminated against, or had childhoods of divorce or drug abuse or sexual abuse or other things.

It is also worth noting that there are Bride loans lower than 12%.

My father's view of the world and of his place in it was like a stranglehold on my childhood.
