Ray rarely speaks publicly but if you do get the chance to meet him you will be bowled over with his knowledge and interest in helping others.I am an owner of the guide and have spent time with Ray over the last 2-3 years (we both attend the Lenders Workshop where I moderate the evening and he is one of the panel reviewing the deals presented by the attendees).I have no stake in Ray's course or in his business.
