Many people ask me whether I think investing in real estate in the Brazos Valley is a safe bet… and my answer is always ‘there are no safe bets but there are strategic plans’. Most of my investors have chosen Bryan/College Station for the stable growth focused around Texas A&M University, the new Medical and Law Schools, and the Bio-Research Corridor. With TAMU having the expectation to accept over 60,000 undergraduate students by 2020, student housing is growing by staggering leaps. In fact, even TAMU is partnering with large firms to build housing close to, but slightly off campus property.

I am honored to share a short story recently written about my long time friendship, business partnership, and now winning of the prestigious Aggie 100 award together with John Magruder.
