Hey @Michael Choy I was born and raised in the SF Bay! 

I grew up in Rochester, so I know the area and neighborhoods, and all my properties (I have 8) are within 5 miles of where i was born and grew up.   

As a result, for landlords to avoid that trap, the CA RENT CONTROL system essentially forces them to increase the rent for great long term tenants and always keep their rent rates within 10% of market rents. 

I was born in Orlando, but currently live in Tarpon Springs, so Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Holiday, New Port Richey, Trinity, Port Richey, Odessa are all in my back yard.

If it’s not then I would pass, because it could be a trap.

Sure, first step be born in AmericaSecond, don't make any egregiously terrible mistakes in your childhood and young adulthood (prison, drug addictions, outrageous debt) Third, take reasonable risk in areas and industries that are in growthFourth, don't expect it to be SUPER fast (1-3 years) For centuries social mobility was just not a possibility.

Students don’t change air filters or even dryer lint traps.

Im born and raised in this area so I know the area like the back of my hand.

90% of my sink clogs are solved at the trap.

I'm an avid Harley Rider, love listening to 80's "Hair" Metal and I'm a born and bred NE Sports fan.
