Nobody from x is actually from x. Solve for x.

[Steven Tawresey]

Former X's...

Denver

Seattle

Portland

I've watched each of these cities kill it, first hand. And all of them had the same phenomenon... no one grew up here. I'm sure many other cities have seen or are seeing the same thing. AND ... it shows up years before the boom. 

I'm currently in Pittsburgh. Was in Cleveland. And everyone out here is from here. Not that that's a bad thing. 

These cities are great for cash flow and I plan on dropping some $$ for solid returns. But if I'm going to make an appreciation play, I want to find an x before it becomes an X!

Anyone else notice this? Anyone know this market? Numbers alone don't tell the story. Net population growth may be negative in these cities right now. But the question, 'where are you from' tells a lot. 

So... solve for x. What city did no one grow up in?

Almost all of Florida is this way. I'm from Florida and live here. When people ask where I'm from they are always shocked to hear I'm a born and raised Floridian.
