You can decide to open up the country and go cram yourself into an arena with 15K other screaming fans rooting for this or that team that you're not genetically-superior enough to have ever had a shot of joining.

If you do this sort of grass-roots progression you get to know people, people get to know you and this is incredibly valuable with investing especially if you're known to have a good reputation.

Good luck Charleszett, I'm rooting for you!!!

If it's roots, a pipe issue, or anything else that's on my end I will pay the bill. 

I live and work in the Boston metro area, and have set up investing roots (and team members) in the Twin Cities to help manage my out of state investments. 

Playing in the distressed asset field for all these years this is the root cause along with simply being very poor money managers and using too much credit to their detriment.. you know the 250k house with 100k in cars the boat and the RV.

Except that you slight your roots...

@Herman SantosWay overpriced & lost its TX conservative roots.

I am here because it is where most of my roots are.  

Good luck, I'm rooting for you!
