I have not been in some time but they used to have very good speakers come in and a great program.

And we had a great guest speaker then over an hour of just good old fashioned networking! 

I would suggest taking your wife to a local REIA meeting when there is an interesting speaker lined up.

Sometimes there's a speaker to discuss title process, marketing or insurance etc.

It's a great opportunity to connect as well as hear from panels and speakers throughout the conference. 

I spent years leasing out apartments for an investor nobody’s ever heard of because he was too busy doing the work versus showboating on REIA speaker circuits.

They always have really good topics and speakers.

I taught the Graduate, REALTORS Institute (GRI) for ten years and have been an invited speaker at many events.

Large covered pergola with cedar carpentry, tons of light, TV and speaker hookups, great for outdoor entertaining.

But the example given by your seminar speaker isn't illegal because immediate family members sharing in any asset are exempt fro security laws, it's just "a family affair, it's a family affair" wish I could sing it for you, LOL.If your guy was wrong about that, what else is he wrong about ?
