New member: Hard Money Lender and investor

[Whit Ewen]

I'm new to this community and have a lot of gratitude for it already. I've been investing slowly in real estate for a few years as I was focused on another non real estate related business. In my days, I've invested in other people's equity, been a development partner, a retail leasing broker and now mostly a hard money lender.  I'm interested in learning from others and helping with my knowledge when I can. I'm based in Austin, Texas. I've served on the planning commission here, and I'm also interested in city planning.  I have a growing family, so my spare time is limited, but when I find some I enjoy spending time with friends, self-development, and travel.  Looking forward to getting to sharing ideas and knowledge and getting to know some of you better.
