A. Lee Graham Reporter Real estate investing serves as the focus of the 2014 Dallas Fort Worth Real Estate Investor (REI) Expo, set for Jan. 25 and 26 at the Gaylord Texas Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine. The first of four expos set for this year, the conference is the nation’s largest for those interested in building wealth through real estate investing. Serving as keynote speaker will be Rick Sharga, executive vice president of Auction.com and noted resource on real estate, mortgage and foreclosure trends.
