Diversifying from oil field to real estate

[Glen Mauldin]

With more than 20 years experience as a landman (negotiate and manage oil & gas leases and other contracts/agreements related to oil & gas exploration and production) I have suddenly found myself with mental bandwidth capacity to spare thanks to the collapse in oil prices.  I literally stumbled into oil & gas landwork by accident after completing my BBA with a concentration in real estate.  I was always intrigued by real estate investing and management, but never had the connections (nor the resources) to get going down that path (this was long before BP existed).  In addition to the BBA, I have an MBA with concentration in finance and I am a licensed Real Estate Broker in Texas.  I'm impressed by the size of the BP community in the Houston area and look forward to the opportunity to make new acquaintances and to diversify my analytical and contract negotiation/management skills.
