I grew up on the beaches but that is way out of my price range currently.

Especially living in the country of California where it seems there are more lawyers then people (I grew up in LA and my brother is a lawyer) the potential downside to me is not worth it.

Or you may know a market really well because you went to college there or grew up there. 

I grew up in Rocky Mount and as any other real estate market, location matters.

I switches to mobile home investing purchasing homes for all cash (without a mortgage) which grew my cash flow exponentially.

I say almost because I grew up with three brothers and all three shared a room for years...so it's certainly doable for them to share a room for a year. 

I grew up in a family where formal education was considered a requirement. 

I am in Las Vegas and I would love some experience on how to choose a neighborhood to flip homes.I am very tempted to begin in the neighborhood I grew up in because it has gone downhill over the decades and needs attention.

I grew up in the 'hood.
