Hope you brought your boots. I can only image how deep the [email protected] is getting down there. I would rather stick my head in a wood chipper then listen to the BS they are spitting out.JenkinsHB said:

There were no bodyguards. Klein and Jaffa made a good effort to come and speak with each contractor throughout the conference. I briefly spoke with both of them. Pollard from fhfa spoke on the state of the mortgage industry, which seemed to be less than positive news. And Scott mcgillivray from hgtv income property show made a guest appearance. Safeguard is rolling out some new mobile technology that looks promising. The rest of the time was mainly training and discussion on the new reo debris picture requirements and the Fannie Mae shake up. Other than that I got pretty drunk a couple of times and met some great people, including a few people from the boards here.

It's all good. I came to my senses anyways and decided against the wood chipper.BPWY said:

It's all good. I decided against tossing myself in the wood chipper. When I realized it only paid $12.00 before 20% discount and I had to take 100 photos before, during, and after I figured it wasn't worth it.BPWY said:

I was at the conference too. Met up with Swift and Jenkins at the Cadillac Ranch. Had a few beers and some eats on Mr. Klein's tab.
This is the second conference I've attended. I got more good info out of the last one. This one, to me, was more of a dog and pony show.
They threw a few zingers in on us. One, which isn't going to be a factor on very many houses, but will be a point of contention when it does occur, SG now requires that when we find a house that has a previously installed tarp on the roof, we are to remove that tarp to inspect the roof damage, then re-install that same tarp, for free...or as they put it - "as part of our regular inspection". I can personally tell you, it won't be done for free. For one thing, I don't know how we're supposed to remove a tarp without damaging it. And even if we did, there's the putting it back down...which will put twice the amount of nail holes in the shingles. And what if it's the third or fourth time that same tarp has been removed and re-installed? Questions SG didn't want to address.
They are also requiring a lot more photos of grass cuts. Mostly of weed eating around the dwelling and fence lines.
As far as a grade for the conference...I'd give it a 7 out of 10 (maybe a 6). got some useful info, and free alcohol, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

·Personally I dont carry a ladder tall enough to gain roof access unless I'm adjusting.
What I find funny is the conference/meetings 3 miles from Swifts home that will Dictate what and how all P&P work will be done. Every City in the US of A is having these same meetings through August.
