Real Estate Investor Meeting – How to Invest Like a Billionaire
Ever wonder how the ultra-wealthy actually got that way — and stay that way? That’s the question Bob Fraser answers in Invest Like a Billionaire, and this October he’s bringing it to MAREI.
Maybe you’re not about to invent the next gadget, launch the next tech startup, or drop $3 million on a single deal. Not yet. But the tools and strategies behind those fortunes aren’t off-limits. You can put many of them to work in your own real estate business — right now, at whatever size you’re building.
Let's Get Passive Cash Flow . . . with Rentals
Bob Fraser learned this the hard way. He built a $250 million fortune, lost it in the dot-com crash, rebuilt as a quant trader, and lost it again in 2008. That’s when he stopped trusting the public markets with his wealth and started investing the way billionaires actually do. Today he’s co-founder and CFO of Kansas City’s own Aspen Funds ($500M+ in private credit, real estate, and energy) and the USA Today bestselling author of Invest Like a Billionaire. He’s joining MAREI to share exactly what he learned.
What You'll Learn
- What billionaires actually own — and why 50–60% of it isn’t stocks
- The alternatives hiding in plain sight: private notes, lending, energy, and funds
- How the wealthy legally shrink the tax bill on every dollar — plan for this now, before it eats into your growth
- How to organize and structure what you’ve already built — the piece most investors skip until it costs them
- How to spot a great operator — and walk away from a loser
- How to read a PPM — the terms in every private deal (preferred return, the split, the waterfall, hold period, projected returns) and what each one really means
Whether you’re buying your first rental, building a portfolio, or ready to trade tenants and toilets for truly passive income, you’ll walk out seeing your next move more clearly.
Don’t miss Bob Fraser — Invest Like a Billionaire, live at MAREI. It’s built for every kind of real estate investor in the Kansas City metro — brand-new, actively building, or accredited and hunting for alternatives.

MAREI Master Class: How to Buy the Right Apartment Building
Want to know how to buy an apartment building, and be sure it's the right one? Spend one Saturday on Zoom with Charles Seaman.The Question That Decides the Deal
The rents look promising. The seller says there’s room to raise them. The price seems reasonable.
Then you dig into the numbers.
What will the building really cost to operate? What happens if the income grows slower than the listing says? What can you afford to pay?
This class spends most of the day on one question: “What should I pay for this apartment building?”
What You'll Learn About How to Buy an Apartment Building
- Find apartment opportunities worth a closer look.
- Evaluate the income, expenses, and assumptions, so you’re working from real numbers and not the seller’s projections.
- Price it. Do the math to figure out what price and terms the building can afford.
- Write the offer so you keep your right to more due diligence after it’s accepted.
- Build your team. Know who you need to investigate and close an apartment purchase.
- Fund it. Put together a capital stack: the mix of financing and investor money that makes a larger purchase possible.

Who Should Take This Class
