I was in attendance at the last Real Estate Trends conference for the Urban Land Institute here in Indianapolis.

An Attorney friend of mine in Austin does more of these than anyone in the area and requires a several page addendum as well as a pre-closing conference to explain all the nuances and disclosures are even in bold and I am not sure this would be enough.

@Gerald K.We're going to be moving from eastern North Carolina where we've been from the last couple years.

A brand new housing track with homes 170-240k, a new river front hotel / conference center, another new build going up now that looks mixed use, and about 6000 sq ft of new commercial.Purchase price, 38K & I'm content as-is.

Also, despite new home prices and the premium that the energy efficiency will confer on my tenant will make this a particularly rentable home.

Which will be some sort of program that guarantees results and it is only going to cost you a few thousand dollars in the promise of making millions.With all that said, I don't think it is a bad deal to go to a free conference and maybe get you motivated to start on your own.

@Johnny Brown If you are really interested about hotels go to this conference in LA tomorrow The Americas Lodging Investment Summit in LA on January 27-29.

I recently sat in on a conference where an x CMHC employee spoke about the ins and outs of using them for commercial units and as long as the building will meet certain criteria you can do 85% LTV.

Then there's the big real estate conference I tried to do.

He also has many conference calls that have a guy on who is teaching an investment methodor strategy.
