I don't got to real estate industry conferences. 

Look at the website for distressed debt conferences and find the list of sponsors. 

@Mario Gutierrez You are going to be hard pressed to find anyone that will do any sort of staging for less than $1000.  

There has been a lot of press on the issue of lying lately and the context of and reason for the lie is used to justify it.

Why don't we meet at Noon on Friday at the nearest restaurant/coffee shop to the conference?

I am making that switch so inconvenience is now just part of my job for a while.Sticking with your numbers and detaching from your offer was the kind of stuff presenters talked about at the conference.

-scour your "rough" neighborhood 5 years statistics (you want to see improvement)-scour your local press, local town news (you want to see plans to do something/improvement)-check former owners building history, any permits pulled in the past-take some of the hardcore local landlords to a dinner/coffee to see how they are doing it in the area-make a few visits to the local HA and find out the inners.

The sole purpose of this is to setup a phone call for a fishing expedition to determine how much liquid cash or credit the prospective student has available and then to go for all of it which is why there is no set price to join the Rhino Group and why you'll be hard pressed to find two people who've paid the same amount. 

Ron's company has my name from an online web marketing conference I "attended."

Good now I can stop pressing to find that holy grail.
