KC's Best Monthly Real Estate Meeting ($350+ Value)
Every month, local and national real estate professionals come together to learn from curated speakers, top business associates, and some of the best investors in the area.
Each meeting kicks off with a mini trade show featuring 8–10 of the top service providers local investors rely on to grow their business—plus quality time to connect with the MAREI community. This is where you build the relationships that move your business forward.
Then we spend 90 minutes learning from instructors who are actively doing what they teach and true experts in their field.
It’s hard to put a price on the value here. As a non-member, attending 10 of these meetings would cost $350. The July Trade Show is free, and the December Speed Networking Meeting only requires a new unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots.
Up to 50% Off Events, Workshops, Classes ($1,000+ Value)
Get up to 50% off access to some of the nation’s best education, networking, and masterminds—led by real operators, not flashy marketing gurus.
Connect and learn with active real estate entrepreneurs who are sourcing deals, funding deals, and building portfolios right here in Kansas City and across the country.
This isn’t theory. It’s real investors opening their playbook. And you get to be in the room—or the Zoom—where it happens. (Many of our Master Classes are virtual and recorded.)
Referrals & Support ($1,000+ Value)
Need a lender who actually does what they say? A GC who will show up and finish the job? A property manager who knows KC law and is properly licensed?

Join us at the monthly meeting to talk face-to-face with these trusted providers, ask questions, and build relationships so you have the resources you need when you need them.
Plus, ask for referrals from fellow members at meetings and events. And enjoy 24/7 access to our public Facebook group—hosted for the benefit of our members—so you can connect with the greater Kansas City Metro investor community anytime.

Lifeonaire Events ($1,500+ Value)
What is a Lifeonaire, you ask?
Think “millionaire,” but instead of chasing money, the focus is on building a rich life. Lifeonaire helps entrepreneurs create more freedom, more clarity, and more fulfillment—without burning out their business or their relationships.
As a MAREI Member, you get free access to all three core Lifeonaire training events each year. These normally cost $50–$597 each, but your membership includes them at no charge — and you can attend virtually or in person, with your spouse or business partner.
The Get a Life Getaway
(3-Day Event — $597 Retail | Members: FREE)
A transformational workshop that helps you define your ideal life, gain clarity, and eliminate the overwhelm that steals your time and peace.
Business Builder Workshop
(3-Day Event — $597 Retail | Members: FREE)
A deep dive into building a healthier, more profitable business that supports your life instead of consuming it.

Advocacy Updates & Calls to Action ($1,000+ Value)
Local laws are changing faster than ever. New rules affecting private property rights, rental housing, renovations, building codes, wholesaling, and more are being introduced across the country—often with little warning and almost no input from the people they impact most.
Through our partnerships with the Kansas City Regional Housing Alliance and National REIA, MAREI keeps members informed, prepared, and represented. When new proposals surface, our community can respond quickly, share updates, and collaborate on solutions.
Together, we've helped make complex regulations less harmful for property owners and investors—including Kansas City, Missouri’s Healthy Homes Ordinance and Tenant Bill of Rights. And in 2025, through our local and state partnerships, we helped strike down Kansas City’s Source of Income law both in court and at the legislative level.
MAREI members don’t just stay informed—they stay a step ahead in a changing legal landscape.
12 Month Full Access ($5500+ Value)
Get a full year of unlimited access to everything MAREI offers—expert office hours, pro pricing discounts, vetted referrals, investor trainings, exclusive events, and the most supportive real estate community in Kansas City.
You get proven tools, real support, and direct access to KC’s top investor network all working for you year-round.
For most members, MAREI doesn’t just pay for itself—it helps them build wealth and create a legacy.
