So far it has lived up to it's reputation as a nice place to put down roots.  

Also, try to find the root cause of the mold/moisture problem.

But without the agent in place, without his smiling face selling our offer, without his deep roots in the community that go back decades, without plate after plate of rubber chicken and lumpy mashed potatoes at a thousand social events, without charity bingo every Friday night at the church for 20 years, the deal wouldn't have been made.

I decided that this was the place I needed to grow roots.  

I hate to say this, but when things drag, the root cause is not usually the contractor.

So, if correcting such outlandish ideas for readers who have little to no knowledge and might think what you are saying is a good idea or rooted in some fact, then I have always been fond of the statement, "I'll be your Huckleberry".Default servicing is referred to as 'high touch', meaning the file requires a lot of handling.

And like @ Brie I don't need to be huge but big enough to enjoy my life.There have been books and people who have taught me but the book of past Hard Knocks is in my roots.

The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil

I am inclined to buy a fourth property, a three family, with a mortgage solely as an investment, and possibly a fifth (a townhouse) for my own use near family and roots.  

Of course everyone will have different opinions on here, but I personally don't see the worth in up-rooting yourself (and your job) to move to an investable area.
