September 12, 2006, Tuesday Chapter Meeting

Topic:  REAL ESTATE BUBBLES, BUSTS AND LOAN FRAUD

Speaker: Robert F. Long , CCIM, Broker, Long & Associates, Inc.
 
With the ever growing inventory of unsold resale homes and builder inventory, it appears Phoenix may be in for bubble trouble.  When the Real Estate market softens, properties become increasing more difficult to sell and foreclosures mount and fraudulent real estate and lending practices come to light.  Complaints over shady transactions start pouring in (and for some of us fraud investigators so does the work).

Come and hear Robert F. Long’s seminar on “Bubbles, Busts, and Loan Fraud”. Robert F. Long, CCIM is a seasoned real estate broker with over 30 years investment and residential real estate experience.  Bob has been a builder and developer here in Phoenix.  Bob was a former asset manager here in Phoenix for the RTC during the last real estate crisis that caused the insolvency of over 2,600 banks and Savings & Loans.  While working at the RTC, Bob was asked to go to Washington, DC and testify, as an expert witness on real estate, before the (101) One Hundred First Congress, House Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs, chaired by Henry B. Gonzales, D Texas.  The committee was investigating the failure of the Banks and Savings & Loans due to speculative real estate operations.
