- MAREI June Meeting: Debt Vs Debt Free Rental Property
Unlocking Real Estate Wealth: Debt vs. Debt-Free Ownership
with… Brendon Pishny
Unlocking Real Estate Wealth: Debt vs. Debt-Free Ownership
Join us as we tackle this crucial question for real estate Investors: Is it smarter to leverage debt to build your rental property portfolio or prioritize owning them debt-free?
Our speaker, Brendon Pishny, is a successful local investor with a unique perspective. He has used debt to build a substantial portfolio while strategically paying off properties, resulting in over $2 million in equity and a significant annual debt reduction. And as the president of Landlords of Johnson County, he has participated in many discussions on the topic.
To say he has thought about this . . . A LOT is an understatement.
There is a lot that goes into the debate:
- Interest Rates that were so low for so long that we may have locked in for 30 years vs current rates.
- Appreciating property values that may allow us to sell one property to pay off all the rest.
- Changing rules and regulations affecting our businesses + COVID, Eviction Moratoriums, and More.
- Tax Implications to consider on both sides of the debate.
Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting out . . this is a meeting for all to attend.
Learn how to:
- Identify “good” vs. “bad” debt and how to manage it effectively.
- Utilize debt strategically to accelerate your real estate portfolio growth.
- Explore different debt options to find the best fit for your situation.
- Make informed decisions about debt repayment and equity building.
- Determine your optimal debt level for maximum wealth creation.
To give you even more perspective, Brendon is bringing a few investor friends to share their perspective as well.
Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to gain insights from several seasoned investors and gain the knowledge to propel your real estate journey!

- ES May: Understanding 1031 Exchanges with Scott Ellsworth, CPA
Tuesday, May 21st 6:30-8:00pm
Virtual for Express Success Members OnlyUnderstanding 1031 Exchanges with Scott Ellsworth, CPA
One of the biggest, least understood tax advantages in real estate is the 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange.
Big, as in you can sell an investment property for ANY amount of profit, and not pay taxes on that profit—if you handle the money right, and use it to buy more properties.
It’s time to get a training on how this works into the Express Success online library, so we’ll learn how they work from CPA Scott Ellsworth. He’ll share everything you need to know, including:
· WHICH properties you can 1031 exchange
· How many properties, and of what kind, you can buy with the money
· How long you have to find, and buy, your new property(ies)
· How the money MUST be handled—it starts even before you sell your first property
If you’re an Express Success member, you’ll get an email telling you how to log in to the meeting.
If you’re not, you should join! The benefits are huge, including unlimited online coaching, access to all 22 of our Saturday online workshops at no extra charge, and more! Check it out under the “Express Success” tab or just click HERE
