A Great Day I Met The Man In College Station Brenda and I went to RE Bar Camp in Austin two weeks ago. We took a room because we intended to stay for the party, but then missed it. As planed we went exploring Friday taking 14 hours to get back to Houston compared to what took us less than 3 the day before.

When we arrived in Collage Station we looked up Trey Thurmond. We were lucky, Trey had time to talk with us and we spent a great hour together. Trey is indeed the Texas Gentleman, the stereotype we all grew up excepting Texans to be.

Besides the general balderdash that you'd except from two sesaond war horses we talked real estate Collage Station real estate. Trey knows real estate and couldn't have picked a better source.

Trey knows I'm looking for a project, probably a new subdivision, but maybe new apartments possibly even an apartment rehab. We'd talked several months ago because while I'm primarily interested in Galveston or between there and Houston, but College Station is on the short list. One of my partners is very interested in it.

With out Active Rain I might never have met Trey. What more can I say? A dozen or so new acquaintances at Bar Camp and Trey on Friday it was a great trip.

George,

I couldn't agree more!

It's too bad VA is such a long drive.

Jon,

We loved it!

In Michigan my practicewent from the state line to the Sue. Every one of my apartment projects started by seeing a need and and then finding a site. My investment projects went from Michigan south to your area and west to Texas then north to Nevada. Before I smashed my leg I loved driving or flying low.

I'm looking for a project and that means getting out and driving slow. It's rare that agents can find opportunity, if they could, there would be lines outside their offices of people waiting to get rich. Instead the pack the free get rich quick lieanars! The sad fact is the masses ether think they are entitled or that there is an easy secerate! The truth is you have to search had for a need/opportunity then jump on it decisively!
