Ron, This Creative Financing for Distressed Real Estate morning event looked interesting, I wish I were in Chicago for the 28th. I came across it doing my weekly Randoming column on CREOpoint. Best regards, Jim

I started selling residential in the 80's in Naperville. I spent 42 years in Naperville freezing, then thawed out in Austin TX before getting back to Real Estate in GA, in the commercial venue. Nice to talk to someone from home.
