You couldnt pay me to live there  ( grew up in Balto) . 

(I grew up here and currently a resident. 

That’s where I grew up. 

Deal nets 12% cash on cash per year and grew my net worth on paper by $18,500. $48,500 cash was deployed in the same neighborhood on another BRRRR deal.

Like most people, I just grew up thinking I was "supposed to" buy a house.

That's great that you already have a rental property in AZ, and it looks like you'll be able to easily pick up another one right as a primary residence and house hack.I grew up in Irving and lived there for about 12 years.

I am new to real estate investing and grew up in the St Clair County area.

I grew up in Topeka, and haven't been back in years. 

My domestic partner grew up in Montrose and her mother still lives there so we visit at least a couple of times per year.

I do value her opinion strongly though, but one thing I've noticed about a few people that grew up in Katy, is that they refer to the north of I-10 area as "the ghetto" (yes, that's the word they use).
