When you face adversity, go back to your roots. 

It's doubtful that they have a "grass roots" acquisition division.

Dennis Rootes I would go against Anthony Gjolaj advice about Texas anyways.

I have the same query, if possible, would it make sense to just purchase portfolios instead of starting grass roots. 

Well that's a soap opera right there.  

My dilemma is whether I use my VA loan for the multi family which will turn into an investment property after I change duty stations in two years or save that VA loan for my personal residence once I establish more permanent roots upon competition of my service. 

Yep you guessed it the new owners had the trees cut down and all roots removed.   

add a little dawn dishwashing soap to that mix and it sticks to the wall and works better 

Well you guessed it, one sewer line replacement later due to root balls I learned a lesson.Where am I going with this?

As you all likely have seen, sometimes there is a soap opera going on behind the scenes.
