I have been married for 26 years and have 3 grown and productive children (that was my toughest job).  

It has grown tremendously since I left in '06!  

The home values have grown year after year.

I have grown to become fascinated and passionate about real estate industry.

i am looking for investors to work with and people who would be willing to send me addresses of homes in the bay area that are dilapidated or over grown!

As an aside, the city that I live in has grown very quickly over the past 5 years, and I'd love to begin with a first unit to rent to simply get started along the journey.I'm currently seeking any worthwhile RE associations to join and network with, and will take on board any advice and recommendations the Bigger Pockets community is willing to share.

This appreciation is being driven by rapidly growing population, muchly due to tech and biotech company growth (both locally grown and CA satellite offices), not investor speculation, as in most bubbles. 

I know a few older people that did that, they had season tickets to the Red Wings and Tigers, they use to drive down from Troy, Northville, Rochester, etc, but they retired, kids are grown, and they just wander around Downtown/Midtown and go to games everyday.Whole Foods, located in Midtown Detroit in 2014, so everyone knows what that means in terms of incomes for the area.

I have an educational background in engineering and business and have grown up in a family that has had several members employed in the construction industry.I joined BiggerPockets looking for tips and techniques that will help grow my property investment empire, so that I may one day take over the world!

My name is Dan Jacob, I'm a 21 year old Business student who has recently grown an interest in real estate.
