Looking Towards Next OLTA Convention
|
It's convention time again! The OLTA Annual Convention will be held this year from April 29 through May 1 at the beautiful Marriott Hotel in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The theme this year is "Welcome to Oklahomaville: Life's a Beach at the OLTA."
Members of the Convention Committee are working extra hard this year to make it a great experience for everyone — educational and fun, too!
For those of you not familiar with the Marriott Hotel you will enjoy the comfort of the hotel. Each room is equipped with remote-control T.V., phones with voice mail and data port, coffee maker, iron and hairdryer. Plus the hotel has a wonderful indoor pool and exercise room. Also, within a short one-mile drive of the hotel is a variety of shopping centers, Penn Square Mall and 50 Penn Place.

The brochure alerts consumers to potential borrowing pitfalls, including high-cost home loans, provides tips for getting the best financing deal possible, and warns how important it is to shop around with warnings on "predatory lenders." The publication also reminds consumers that refinancing or using their home as security for a home equity loan allows for a federally required three business days right of recission.
