Task 1.
We had two guest speakers, Dr. Harrison and Mr. Gentry, come to class to speak about real estate in their lives, specifically the project they are working on in town. They both graduated from Texas A&M and were part of the corp. Dr. Harrison works in medicine at A&M and Mr. Gentry is a lawyer.
They are both working on a $4.7 million project off of Briarcrest and Highway 6. They receive their funding through a play from the city of Bryan. The city uses a Tax Incremental Reinvestment Zone to get their funding. The expected date of completion is August 2013.
What most interested me was how Dr. Harrison actually acquired the land. Apparently, his great grandfather won it playing a game of poker. I wonder what his winning hand was.
