You grew up in the internet age, so you know that, right?

(I grew up there).

I have a 401K that I max out and am close to paying off the mortgage on my primary residence.During the pandemic the family and I took advantage of STR's primarily in Poconos PA and the Hudson valley in New York and grew to love the idea of owning and running a rental as well as having a place for the family to go every now and then to unwind. 

I grew up in RI, and although I’m currently living out of state, I am hoping to move back someday.

To fend of the "We grew up with it and we're fine." argument; It is becoming more and more of an issue as the paint reaches the end of it's life span and deteriorates and chalks up or cracks and falls off.

The reality here is that certain people want to be in certain neighborhoods due to location and where they grew up. 

Both parent were depression babies and I grew up hearing the stories about lack.

I grew up there and my parents still live there.  

I grew up around the Fairfield county/ Westchester county NY.  

I sold one Cupertino home in 1987 for just under 500k.. it was bought in 1969 for 32k. ( My parents house were I grew up)
