About us
Welcome to the Springfield Real Estate Investors Meetup!
______________________________________________
Hey everyone — Kim Tucker here with MAREI (Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors) in Kansas City.
As many of you probably know, Springfield REIA stopped meeting at the end of 2024, and it looks like some of the other local investor meetups may have slowed down as well.
One thing we’ve learned over the years is that real estate investors do better when they stay connected to other investors. Even if you’re not actively buying right now, staying plugged into education, conversations, vendors, lenders, attorneys, and other investors matters.
While MAREI is based in Kansas City, many of our trainings and workshops are virtual, we livestream some meetings, and we record most presentations so members can watch later.
A few things we thought might be helpful:
✔️ Virtual workshops and trainings
✔️ Recorded presentations and replay library
✔️ Online meetings and livestreams
✔️ Networking with investors actively doing deals
✔️ Access to vendors, lenders, attorneys, and investor resources
You can learn more about upcoming events here:
MAREI.org/Calendar
And membership information is here:
MAREI.org/Membership
At the same time, I’d also genuinely love to know:
Are there any active investor groups, meetups, or communities still meeting regularly in the Springfield area?
If there are good local people still trying to build community there, I’d rather help support and connect people than see the area lose its investor network entirely.
Message us through meetup or email kim@MAREI.org directly, let's see what we can do to get you a live group again.

Why Most Real Estate Investors Build Wealth Too Slowly (And How to Do It Better)
·OnlineOnline⚠️ NOTE: RSVPing here does NOT get you a Zoom link. You must register at our website to attend. Registration link at the bottom of this post.
Most real estate investors are not building wealth incorrectly.
They are building it in the wrong ORDER — and that slows them down by years, sometimes decades.
That is the core idea behind this special online workshop with George Antone, and if you are a Missouri investor who is active in the market but still feels like true financial freedom is further away than it should be — this is a session you will not want to miss.

Most real estate investors are not building wealth incorrectly.
They are building it in the wrong ORDER — and that slows them down by years, sometimes decades.
That is the core idea behind this special online workshop with George Antone, and if you are an Oklahoma investor looking for a smarter framework for building wealth — not just doing more deals — this online session was built for you and you can attend from anywhere.
Most investors are taught to:
→ Create income by flipping houses
→ Buy rentals and notes with the leftover cash
→ Slowly build wealth over 20 to 30 yearsBut George Antone teaches something very different.
He believes most investors focus on preserving wealth too early — instead of first creating velocity, momentum, and accelerated growth.
If you have ever thought:
→ "I should be further ahead financially by now"
→ "I am doing deals but still do not feel financially free"
→ "Why does wealth building feel so slow?"
→ "There has to be a smarter way to use money and leverage"
...this workshop may completely change the way you think about investing.You will learn:
→ Velocity of money and why it needs to move FAST at the beginning
→ The difference between growth money, investment money, and preservation money
→ Why many investors stay financially stuck even while doing lots of deals
→ Strategic use of leverage — how to balance risk with return at each phase
→ Why low-loan-constant investments can slow early wealth creation
→ Financial sequencing — the order that actually works
→ How to potentially compress decades of progress into a much shorter timelineThis is a hands-on session — not just a presentation. George uses live breakout rooms where you will actually work on your own investment plan during the class.
The session will be recorded and all registrants receive the recording — so register even if you cannot make it live.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
Real estate investors at any stage — brand new, actively building, or experienced and wondering why financial freedom still feels far away. Also valuable for lenders, agents, contractors, property managers, and other service providers who work with investors and want to understand how their clients should be thinking about money and wealth.WHO THIS IS NOT FOR: Anyone looking for a quick-flip tactic or a shortcut to their first deal.
This is a financial systems and strategy session.
Come ready to think.***
