MAREI Hosted Events
Join us at an event to learn and share knowledge, to connect with new people and build relationships and explore opportunities to do business!
The market is weird. Thatâs good, not badâif you know how to change what youâre doing to meet the new demands and challenges of 2025.
Many of our members have never seen a market slowing down, and donât know how to deal with that psychologically OR financially.
The WORST thing you can do is âsit out the marketâ, waiting to see what will happen; the second worst is to just keep doing exactly what youâve been doing and hope it still works.
Weâll talk about what real estate and mindset tactics you should be using to grab this opportunity while it lasts, so donât miss this!
If youâre an Express Success member, youâll get an email telling you how to log in to the meeting.
If youâre not, Vena has a sale going through the end of January! The benefits are huge, including unlimited online coaching, access to all 21 of our Saturday online workshops at no extra charge, and more!
Check it out under the âExpress Successâ tab.
Wholesaling is a powerful strategy in real estate, but do you truly understand the rules that govern it?
We have a lot of great wholesalers out there in the market place, trying to be honest, ethical and fair, who just don’t know what they don’t know, because their education came from YouTube and online real estate forums. Free education is awesome, but it’s now always right or complete . . . which is why we are hosting this class.
Rick Davis – an experienced real estate attorney and owner of RD Title + Exchange approached us with this idea for a lunch and Learn “Wholesalers can’t represent a buyer or seller in their wholesale transaction” Even if they are a real estate agent, because they are a party to the transaction, they can’t be the seller or buyer’s agent.
This is one practice that is upsetting sellers and buyers and leads to more pushes for regulation of wholesalers . . . and Kansas in particular has been pushing for several years.
This sparked further discussion and we have a few more points for Rick to Include in his discussion:
đ A Wholesaler can’t be a principle in the deal and represent the original seller or the end buyer – Why?
đWholesalers who are also Real Estate Agents, can they represent the buyer or seller and be the wholesaler in the middle?
đMy Brokerage wholesales property, What is my role as an agent in the brokerage – do I represent the buyer, the seller, both, or my broker as principle in the transaction?
đIf I am an Agent but acting as a Wholesaler, do I need an agreement signed by my buyers that I “don’t represent them” before they get on my list?
đWhat is the best way for a Realtor who represents an end buyer to assist that buyer in purchasing a wholesaled property? Who pays the Realtor?
đCan I market a property I don’t own? If I’m the listing agent? If I have it under contract to purchase? Can I market the property or do I market the contract?
đWhat’s the difference in marketing when you are double closing vs assigning? Public marketing vs Private Internal Email List?
Have you had any of these questions come up in your wholesale business? If you have not, they will eventually, so be sure to join us for an hour. It’s free for members and guests. All who are registered will receive access to the replay.
We were approached with a question . . . who at MAREI has interest in building housing on a small level – from ADUs, to Infill, to Full Blown Communites.
From container homes, tiny homes, small homes, multi family . . . we wanted to get to know who has this interested and if there would be interest in having a monthly meeting to connect and share ideas – sort of master mind style.
If this is you, please join us at this first meeting . . .
If we were to host this ongoing, it would be free for MAREI members and have a small fee, just like our regular meetings for non-members.
We are penciling in 4th Thursdays and we are hoping to find 2 or 3 facilitators who don’t have to be the experts in the space but be able to tag team hosting the meeting which would entail, starting on zoom and recording if we decide to record. Welcoming everyone, Introducing our guest, helping to facilitate the asking of questions and discussion.
Hope to see you on Zoom on the 23rd.
This might be just a get to know each other meeting, one and done or we might decide to host this on the regular.
ONLINE Saturday, January 25th (8 am – 2 pm Central)
How (and Why and When) to Get
0% Seller-Carryback Financing When You Buy
Masterclass with Vena Jones-Cox
PHP: 4 hours finance, 1 hour negotiation, 1 hour purchasing [whatâs this?]
What would it mean to you if you could negotiate 0% interest seller financing on your next deal?
Well, among other thingsâŠ
- You can pay a LOT more for any property than other investors willâŠand thatâs a huge advantage in a competitive market like this one
- You can pay OFF the property a lot faster, with the same monthly payments as youâd pay a private lender. And free and clear properties are the goal, right?
- You can make deals with sellers who want top price, or even more than top price (and there are a LOT of those these days)
- You can become the envy of all your investor friendsâŠ
Youâll Learn to Do ALL of that
In Our Online Seller Carryback MasterclassâŠ
Guaranteed!
On January 25th, creative dealmaking savant Vena Jones-Cox will share everything sheâs learned about making 0% interest seller-carryback deals.
Attend, to learn how to do all the following:
- How to identify the sellers who CAN and WILL carry 0% interest financing
- How to start the conversation, and answer the common objections
- How to evaluate each deal to figure out how much payment, and for how long, the deal can âaffordâ. So you donât get yourself into a deal that looks good on paper, but is actually a money-loser
- How to use 0% seller SECOND mortgages to avoid big cash down payments on subject to deals, private loans, and other creative structures
- How to use the âmultiple offer strategyâ to show the seller why taking payments is better than cash
- How and when to offer MORE than retail priceâand still get a killer deal
- How to write the offers, and which documents you need to close
- How to respond if the seller says, âI like the payments, but I donât like the 0% interest!â
Youâll have all the skills, knowledge, and documents you need to buy properties with 0% seller-carryback financing at the endâŠ
And if you donât agree, just tell us, and weâll refund your (measly) tuition!
Register by Thursday, January 23rd, and your tuition is just $47 (if youâre a member) or $97 (if youâre not, though you can save that $50 and get ALL the benefits of membership HERE). After that, youâll pay $67 or $127.
