The speaker provided statistics on real estate opportunities and where we are today, and what must happen. She explained where the opportunities are to invest in real estate today, and how to evaluate investment property. She touched on different loans, FHA.VA, Conventional, etc.; debts, credit scores, underwriting guidelines, qualifying ratios, down payment, and owner financing.
The last two hours was used to work on a case study. Now, by the end of the day, my head was spinning with all this information....
There were approximately 110 attendees that received their seven hours of continuing education. We enjoyed breakfast, and delicious snacks throughout the day provided by City National Bank, First National Bank of Ronceverte, and First Citizens Bank. Drinks were provided by Homes and Land. There were 12 vendors at this event providing information on their products, as well as giving prizes. Besides the four aforemetioned vendors, others participating in this event were: Arbonne, Jockey Person-to-Person Clothes, Sam's Club, State Farm, Wells Fargo, United Bank, Mountain Messenger, and Alcova Mortgage.
Lisa Merrill Spencer is a fantastic speaker. She motivated the GVBOR. Her enthusiasm and attention filled the room with energy. If you want a good speaker.....she is the one to call. Her contact information is: Phone: 512-878-2920 Lisa left a thought for all of us in closing......remember you buried "I Can't" and that there is always an open door even for the fly buzzing and hitting the glass in the window.
