New returning member from Austin, TX

[John Blackman]

Hi everyone,

I've been a member of this site for quite some time but not active. Today I attended a terrific biggerpockets real estate gathering in Austin. It was a terrific event and I met several investors operating in Austin, all of whom are up to a variety of real estate strategies.

This has finally prompted me to get active on this site, as it seems all of the smart kids are here.

I have been investing in Real Estate only since 2009 which is 4 years but doesn't feel like very long. The primary strategy the team I work with in Austin pursues is single family housing development in gentrifying areas of Austin, TX. Bryan Hancock and Jon Klaus have been bugging me to get active here, and I'm finally following through.

I'm looking forward to contributing and learning from this gathering of great real estate minds.
