MAREI Office Hours
Bring Your Real Deals. Get Real Answers.
Our Members Only Office Hours run every 2nd and 4th Thursday, noon–1:00 p.m. Central.
No slides, no sales pitch. Just you, your questions, and two investors who’ve been in the trenches.
This is the Place to Be to Connect
Twice each month MAREI members jump online to ask questions about real estate investing. If it is real estate related — or even adjacent — we will tackle the question.
Do not have a question? Join us anyway.
Be a fly on the wall. The questions others ask may be ones you have had before or may face in the future.
Experienced investors are always welcome as well. Often the audience brings valuable insight and solutions to the discussion.
Coming Up
May 14
We are taking on all real estate investor questions, but we are posing a topic to work with in of infill housing. Building to rent on available lots, either one property or a small group of properties. If this is your think or you’d just like to be a fly on the wall, join us for conversation.
To attend, make sure your MAREI membership is current.
Then register on the calendar for the next session and we will send you the Zoom link.
MAREI Meeting: Tax Lien & Deed Investing—How It Actually Works
Tax lien and deed investing gets talked about a lot—but rarely explained clearly. We’ll break down how it works, where the risks are, and how investors are actually using it.
Jason shared the introduction at the May 12th MAREI Meeting.
2-Day Bootcamp: Tax Lien & Deed Investing—How It Actually Works
Most investors hear things like:
“You can buy property for pennies”
“You can start with very little money”
And both can be true.
But then they try to figure it out… and get stuck.
Because what’s missing is:
- where the deals actually come from
- what the process looks like
- and how to know if you’re doing it right
And when things aren’t clear… the confused mind says no.
WHY THIS IS WORTH YOUR TIME
This isn’t about adding another strategy.
It’s about understanding one that keeps coming up—so you can decide if it’s worth your time… or not.
At this meeting, you’ll hear how investors are actually approaching tax liens and deeds, ask questions, and see how this fits into real-world investing.
- The difference between tax liens and tax deeds—and why that matters before you start
- How investors actually find and evaluate opportunities at the county level
- What happens before, during, and after auctions
- Where beginners make mistakes—and how to avoid them
- What a realistic entry point looks like (not just what you hear online)
- How this fits into a real investing strategy—not just as a standalone idea
MAREI Meeting: How Boring Rentals Build Wealth
MAREI Meeting: Why Boring Rentals Build Wealth
Not every successful investor is chasing 100 deals a year, or shouting that they are a 7 figure operator.
Some are quietly building rental portfolios, paying down debt, creating cash flow, and managing millions in equity inside their portfolio.
They’re focused on what actually works.
The boring stuff.
At this month’s MAREI Meeting, Brendon Pishny—author of Boring Rentals: Build Wealth, Experience Freedom & Find Purpose—will moderate a live discussion with experienced Kansas City investors who are building real long-term wealth through practical, repeatable investing strategies.
So If you want Get Rich Quick, this is not for You
