·OnlineOnlineRegister to get your zoom link at MAREI.org/Calendar
Bookkeeping. Yuck.
We’d all love to run a real estate business without paying bills, balancing accounts, tracking budgets, or dealing with taxes—but since that’s not an option, we might as well learn how to do it right.
This one-time online meeting is designed to give real estate entrepreneurs the bookkeeping fundamentals they actually need to stay organized, reduce stress, and run a more profitable business.
You’ll learn:
• To track assets, liabilities, equity, and debt in a way that actually makes sense
• Which bookkeeping system works best for real estate investors
• Why your chart of accounts matters more than you think
• How better books help you borrow money and save on tax prep

Private Lending in 2026: Protecting Capital in a Slower Market (Online)
·OnlineOnlinePrivate lending didn’t disappear — but the market changed.
Across the country, deals are taking longer to sell, expenses are rising, and lenders are discovering that strategies that worked in fast markets don’t always hold up in slower ones.
That’s why MAREI is hosting this all-day, online Private Lending Masterclass, open to investors across the state who want to protect capital and lend more safely in 2026.
### This workshop covers:
- How today’s market changes private lending risk
- How to evaluate collateral and deals realistically
- What documentation and insurance must be in place before funding
- Warning signs of distressed or slow-paying loans
- Practical ways to deal with troubled loans
- How to build a repeatable private lending system
This session is designed for both new and experienced private lenders — and is just as valuable if you lend passively as it is if you structure deals directly.
🎥 Recording included for all registered attendees.
