@Jake Drappi When my wife and I looked for our first home we used realtor.com as a reference for school districts, their rating system is super basic but it was accurate as I tested it in the area where I grew up as we had a variety of school district levels in the county I grew up in.

I grew up around Boston and love the area. 

@Corina Farrar I live in Meridian, ID (suburb of Boise) and grew up out here.

Grew up in Ronkonkoma.

A few major end results from RBTR Method:*Established savings fund for home repairs and other unexpected expenses *Shaved off 8 years of my loan term with extra payments to principal balance and a refinancing *Updated/Remodeled about 70% of entire interior, both floors*Yes, my property has had a substantial appreciation since purchase (a bit more than double)Granted, my hacking end game was to decrease my cost of living expenses whilst my equity sprouted and grew.

The Brazilian real has lost 70 - 75% of its value over the last decade but it grew a lot before that, as a result of the huge economic expansion then.

My little e book is basically my story of how I wrestled with the mid west.it would have been... come to work and address my 16 employees and get our default list which grew daily.. then figure out what the heck we were going to do...

My father was in the military and we moved here from Iceland when I was in High School, but I mostly grew up down south. 

Only did my Master's there but grew up south of Atlanta and lived all around it.

I grew up in them, they're not dangerous, in requiring of "clean up" or any number of loaded terms that have been thrown around here.
