NEWVestors KC: Funding Your First Real Estate Deal

Confused about real estate financing? This NewVestors panel breaks down common loan options, terms, and tradeoffs so new investors can understand how deals are funded and which options may fit their strategy.

The of the most common sticking points for new real estate investors is financing.

Questions like:

• What kind of loan do I actually need?
• Why do lenders look at deals differently?
• How do terms change based on strategy?
• When does conventional financing make sense — and when doesn’t it?

At MAREI NewVestors, we focus on understanding the options before you need them.

In this session, McKenna Zandecki, Jeff Newhard, Jason Knobbe, Mike Auch, and Cassie Stephenson will host a panel discussion covering the most common ways real estate deals are funded, including:

• Conventional lending
• Institutional fix-and-flip financing
• DSCR loans
• Small private lenders

The panel will compare how different lenders evaluate deals, common loan terms, and the pros and cons of each type of financing — helping brand new investors understand how funding decisions connect to strategy, risk, and timelines.

This session is designed to provide context and clarity, not to push any one approach.
