They are the ones who can certify whether or not the stone is genuine and not tampered with.The only investment jewelry that I know of consists of enormous and rare diamonds, historical jewelry with providence, and Southwest Native American handmade silver by famous name artists.You get yourself a large diamond tiara worn by Empress Josephine with proper providence, and maybe you've got yourself an investment.Even with a very good quality loupe and a very good eye, you won't be able to tell whether a diamond in a setting is a genuine stone.

I'm a native Washingtonian (DC), and my husband and I are investing down the road in Baltimore.

Hello @Dustin Strekow and welcome to Bigger Pockets from another Milwaukee native!

I'm a Pasadena native, currently living in Pasadena, and I would like to stay in the Los Angeles area (that is, if I were to stay in North America). 

I am a MD native and investor in Montgomery county. 

Once they 'go native' it can be very difficult for them to enforce rules and they will side with tenants over your wishes.In San Antonio, you could have a large Snowbird population if you market to them, to help offset the slower Winter months.

Texas native from El Paso, Adan wanted to expand his knowledge of real estate and move to Austin, Texas.

Like you, I am also a California native (lived most of my life in Northern California, but spent a few years down south for school).  

I guess being a native I wouldn't mind managing a few of those either.

I am a native Clevelander, went to the Univ. of Akron, and have family in the Ytown area.
