I'm a native Houstonian and although I'm currently working out of state, this would be the area I am most familiar with, and will be investing in.

Hi all,I am a Rochester native and a fan of Rochester real estate these days.

Great to see another CT native in the investing world.

I'm not native to Pittsburgh, but have grown to love the city and all it has to offer.
