- Doors open at 5:30 for our Vendors and Staff to get everything set up.
- At 6:00 Registration Starts, our Monthly Trade Show Opens, and Everyone Starts Making Connections
- At 7:00 we take our seats for a few important announcements
- At 7:15 or thereabouts our speaker or speakers take the stage.
- At 8:45 our goal is for the speaker to wrap up
- At 9:00 our meeting after the meeting generally starts in the bar area

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
But to see what real, millionaire investors, right here in your local market are doing . . . day in and day out are doing, then this is for you.
See how they actually think, operate, and make decisions behind the scenes when it comes to
- buying rentals
- managing properties
- building systems
- staying focused
- and growing wealth over time
Meet Our Panelists
- Aaron Ford – Multifamily investor with 250+ units plus rehabs and new construction projects
- Lisa Layne – Single-family rental investor managing properties locally and internationally
- Jeff McDaniel – Owner of 50+ rental homes, mortgage broker, and property management business owner
Plus we have a special guest host. MAREI’s own Kyle Niemann will be kicking the meeting off.
Special Bonus
Brendon will have a free copy of his book Boring Rentals for the first 100 people at the meeting. And you just might get him to autograph your copy.
Be sure to Read it. Apply it. That’s where the real value is.
