Welcome session designed to get you acclimated to the educational and informational opportunities available to you for the rest of the day. Hosted by Alan Langston, AZREIA Executive Director.

The real estate investing industry and the industries that interact with investors have suffered through some tough times. Fraud and scams infiltrated these industries that are still playing out in today’s market. Mortgage fraud, house stripping and equity stripping are front page issues in our papers and on-line. Attorney General Goddard will tell you where Arizona stands on all these issues, what is being done to prosecute offenders and how Arizona is preventing reoccurrences. Mr. Goddard will also take your questions.

Being informed is critical to making better decisions in a rapidly changing environment.

This session takes an in-depth look at current market conditions to provide you with analysis you can use to make decisions on your investing. In order to give you the most meaningful data, we will not be repeating the Market Update from the AZREIA meeting. Rather, we will be taking a much deeper look into REOs, Short Sales and Pre-Foreclosure Analysis. Delving into market segment analysis by price range and submarket will help you to better understand what the opportunity is and where it exist. You will leave this session knowing more about the market than ever and able to make better decisions regarding your investment opportunities.

The real estate investing market is at a feverish pace. Right now is considered one of the best opportunities in decades to acquire residential property at substantial discounts. In turn these discounts can be turned into immediate income by rehabbing the property and selling at close to retail or renting the property for cash flow and locking in future appreciation.

As an investor you need to know what is working and how to participate to get your hands on one or more of these great deals. Our panel will discuss REOS, Short Sales, Subject to, auctions, sourcing from wholesalers and more.
