New Member: Student in Lubbock, Texas

[Lee Willis]

Hello everyone,

My name is Lee and I am a graduate student at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas pursuing a Master of Science degree in finance.  I am interested in farm/ranch/recreational properties and I'm excited to learn from the members of BP about the real estate industry as a whole.  

For the "Independent Study" course I am currently enrolled in, I'm evaluating a large acreage property from the perspective of an investor (assessing possible income-generating activities, determining development opportunities, constructing pro forma's for each scenario, etc.) with the help of the property's brokerage firm, my professor, and a few external sources who were kind enough to help out.

Some information about me: 

• From Georgetown, Texas
• Graduated from Texas Tech University with degrees in management and marketing
• I enjoy flying, and I've been a pilot for about 5 years
• I'm an avid outdoorsman
• I plan on becoming an accredited land consultant at some point in the future

I'm open to any and all suggestions/advice/information from the BP community and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!  Thank you!
