Attorney, Broker, Investor from Texas

[Joseph B. Davisson]

Greetings,

My name is Joseph "Joe" Davisson,  I am an attorney, real estate broker, investor in Dallas, Texas.  In the past 20+ years I have worked in a variety of real estate related capacities.  As a teenager I got my start as a leasing agent for a property management company.  Since, I have bought/sold, brokered or worked on just about every type of real property from vacant lots to corporate headquarters as a principal, broker or attorney.  These days my law practice is about 80% real estate transactions and 20% corporate or contract work ancillary to my real estate clients' core business.  I am not a litigator- I am a "deal" attorney.  I am always looking for personal investment opportunities and my work allows me to closely monitor the pulse of the market and monitor values and markets (an property types) with attractive margins or potential.

While I do maintain a Broker's License, I do not actively pursue listings or representations.  On occasion, a client (or someone a client has referred to me) will ask me to sell property or act as a buyer or tenant representative in a purchase or lease.  

I found this site researching the use of retirement accounts to invest in real estate. Recently more of my clients have been using retirement accounts to buy and sell real estate.  I am personally interested in doing the same and helping more of my clients access retirement money as a source of investment capital.  

Based on my recent "lurking" this site appears to have a more professional and mature tone than many I have encountered, thus I felt compelled to join based on the quality of the interaction and value of the forum posts.  Hopefully, I can be a valued addition to the community.
