Mortgage Fraud Conference

Convention season is gearing up. Despite the heat, the convention areas are pretty busy most of the year. Quite a few smaller conventions are held during the summer and fall months at meeting rooms in some of the strip properties.

There is a new one that I'm thinking of attending about mortgage fraud. It will be on November 14th and 15th, featuring Rachel Dollar and other experts. The conference is being held at Circus Circus. According to the site, attendees will learn tips and tricks to help avoid and stamp out fraud in the mortgage and real estate industries as well as receiving a complimentary copy of Protect Yourself from Real Estate and Mortgage Fraud, co-authored by Rachel Dollar and Ralph Roberts.

Tickets are $895 before September 30th, then $995 there after. Call (800) 848-4904 for ticketing.

Its getting to be convention time again here in Las Vegas. The second annual International Real Estate Expo will be held again at the MGM Grand on October 21st, from 11 am to 6pm.
