I'm in the process of getting my license in Indiana and would love to be a resource if you're looking there, I grew up in the LaPorte area and now live in Valparaiso.

We came to Normal, IL from the Minneapolis area approx. 15 yrs ago, but we think about going back to Mpls on occasion (I'd prefer to get back to the Chicago burbs where I grew up, though). 

I thought sharing it today would help keep me motivated on my path to financial independence and maybe it will help some of you who are starting out.I grew up very poor.

We learned and became confident and then grew from there.At the end of the day, it's taking an informed leap of faith and then buckling down and making it work.Hopefully there's a nugget or two in there that can help.

I don't think landlords in general are considered that negatively in society as a whole, but if I grew my business to your level, it's possible I would amend my opinion.

Traditional housing grew at an average annual rate of 3.8% while manufactured housing averaged out at 3.4%.According to the Urban Institute article, this is the first year the FHFA has released this kind of data on manufactured housing.

@Odie Ayaga and @Matt Rusk, I live near the Princeton area (where I also grew up).

I was discouraged by the local market in LA and am looking elsewhere, specifically in the Portland, Oregon, where I grew up.   

@Andrew Cheek I grew up near Oak Hills Hs, most of my family lives in Bridgetown/Green township. 

I grew up in the South Hills (Mt Lebanon) and then moved to New Mexico for school but moved back because I love this city.
