We are very excited to get to Colorado Springs, put down some roots, get involved in Colorado Springs, and just enjoy everything that Colorado has to offer.

I have roots in this community and don't plan on moving anytime soon.  

Try to get to the root of why they are doing it.  

We wanted to make sure our home was very energy efficient, which meant strategically choosing which trees we kept in place, and then angling the house right so that the trees provided shade in the summer, but that those trees didn't pose a risk in the occasional winter storms (trees grow and root based on prevailing winds, so once you cut a few out and change the air-flow, they can become more susceptible to blowing over).

The next destination is on everyone's mind over here...and while I have deep roots and the potential to continue expanding into relatively nearby markets, I can't help but think Portland has a great working template for the next destination.

Recently, I've decided to go back to my RE roots but start on the investment side to build up financial security as I approach 40.  

I'm still sincerely rooting for you to win this challenge!

John, my husband has roots in Ireland and we visited there in 2003.

When we sat down to discuss the situation, he was blown away at the family I had printed out ahead of time showing his family roots back to the late 1700's.He, of course, immediately accepted my proposition and signed the offer.

On the advice of someone I trust, I am pursuing the Agreement on the belief that (1) the tenant will treat the property more like an Owner, and (2) this gives me an exit strategy with Capital Appreciation a few years down the road (note I have NOT inked the deal yet).I'm not actively pursuing any deals right now until I determine the root cause of the Cash Crocodile listed above.
