💡 What would YOU do with this house?
At this month’s MAREI Meeting, we’re putting a real property on the hot seat. You’ll see the photos. You’ll get the repair list. And then you’ll hear three totally different investor strategies for what to do with it.
Deal or No Deal
It’s easy to talk about doing deals. But what happens when we actually break one down — LIVE and on the big screen?
This month at MAREI, we’re bringing in three very different types of investors to evaluate the exact same property… and they won’t hold back.
We’ll show the photos, layout, comps, and repair list — and let them walk us through their thought process, strategies, and exit plans.
You’ll learn:
✔️ How to spot red flags or hidden potential
✔️ What to fix, what to leave, and why it matters
✔️ How holding vs. flipping vs. renting by the room changes the entire deal
✔️ How each investor funds and structures their version of the deal
🛠 Meet Our Investor Panel:
👤💁The Retail Flipper – The Husband and Wife Team of Erica & Alex Peterson who buy, rehab and sell for top dollar.
👤 The Long-Term Landlord – A long time KC Investor Pat Grace who buys, rehabs, and rents them out for cash flow . . and to build wealth.
💁The PadSplit Manager – LeAnn Hiatt with how everything would work if the house was turned into a Pad Split.
They’ll each walk you through:
👉 What their preferred strategy would be . . . or maybe they would pass.
👉 How they’d fund it
👉 What repairs they’d make
👉 Their projected timelines & profit
👉 And their unique exit strategies
Plus we want your input . . . do you have a slightly different Niche? Airbnb, room additions, tear down and build a different house – we can pose some what if scenarios – what if it were in a different city . . . or in a place where tear downs and new homes are common. What if it were closer to the it spot of the area.
As always Networking and Vendor Trade Show at 6. Announcements and Ice Breakers at 7. Panelists join us at 7:20 ish . . . And as always MAREI Members and 1st Time Guests register and attend for FREE. All others are welcome for either our $35 guest fee or they can join for as little as $25 a month or $149 a year. And yes it will be recorded for members to access on the replay page.

MAREI's Online Nationwide Real Estate Investor Meeting: Getting Started
Hosted by Kim Tucker, 25-Year Real Estate Investor & Director of MAREI
🗓 June 26 | 🕕 6:30 PM CT | 📍 Online via Zoom | 💵 FREE
Nobody ever said real estate investing was easy.
And let’s be honest: if you’ve ever tried to get started — with the podcasts, YouTube videos, webinars, and “secrets” — you already know how overwhelming it can be.
But here’s the good news:
👉 It gets a lot easier when someone shows you a clear path forward…
👉 And even better when you’re surrounded by a community of people who’ve walked that path (and are ready to help you).
That’s exactly what we’re doing in at our brand-new Online Nationwide MAREI Meeting.
This month, let’s talk Forming that LLC
- Why You Might Need One
- When to Set It Up
- How to Set It Up
- When to get Another One
- How You Might Want to be Taxed
- Things to Keep it Valid
- Who Should Own It
- What are You Called and How to Sign Checks & Contract
- And Do you Need One if you Don’t Own the Property – aka Assigning Contracts, Investing as a Private Lender in Other People’s Deals, Investing in Syndications, Other LLCs, ect.
We are inviting an Attorney, a CPA, and some experienced investors to get their take on how all of this works.
Our Host
Kim Tucker, has been investing for over 25 years and gets the question over and over . . . “how do I get started?” Because it’s not a simple 5 minute answer and because parts can vary by person, she wrote a book and now she is sharing that book in this meeting. So join us on Zoom on Thursday May 22nd so we can learn and grow together, from where ever you maybe . . .
