Hi everyone,I am new to this community and real estate investing.

I am an investor based in Fairfield County, CT and just rejoined BP after many years away.From 2005-2011, I got up to ~150 units in SF & MF both rehab & new construction, Class B & C, but (regrettably) sold all to focus on institutional real estate and private equity.Since selling off, I got an MS degree in real estate and participated in most asset classes institutionally ($10-250mm+) with a focus on SF & MF.

Galveston is among several other TX markets on AirDNA's ranking of best vacation rental markets in the next five years.
