I've been in real estate development a long time, and most of the folks I know doing it either grew up in the business, or most of them know it from working for a larger builder, i.e. as a project manager, forward planner, acquisitions, and eventually went out on their own. 

. - Experience with growing and scaling a business (Started and grew my high-end tile business.)- Licensed Builder (wanting to build my own MF units)  - Skilled laborer. 

I grew up just north of San Francisco and moved to Reno, NV to live and invest. 

I grew up in CA and this is what we've done. 

I grew up visiting the area and have seen all the change that has happened.

I've been looking at multifamily buildings in the county I grew up in here in Central Florida.

(I grew up in that area).  

. - Having run the numbers on several Class C properties in the Midwest (and as someone who grew up in Indiana, but is not currently investing there), I find the negligible cash flow under current conditions is not worth the risk (eviction, major capex, vacancy, etc.).

Hi - I grew up in Cheltenham.

I also grew up in Cupertino and lived in Palo Alto Napa valley prior to Oregon..
