New member speaking up

I've lurked for a while and decided to jump in, so here goes...

In my former life, I spent 8 years as a financial planner and investment adviser. That wasn't the life for me any longer, and real had been an interest and passion for as long as I could remember.

Our family has been involved with real estate for the past 40 years and been a commercial property owner for the past 30. Three years ago this month, we opened a small boutique brokerage / investment / development company, and things are running ahead full steam. Our current investment and development activities are in a secondary Texas market where we live, and our brokerage works with clients nationwide.

I really enjoy the experience, insight, and opinions of this forum and hope to contribute.
