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.
