When Real Estate Deals Go Wrong – and How to Recover - a MAREI Meeting
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kansas City - Overland Park, 10100 College Blvd, Overland Park, KS, USNot every real estate deal is a win.
And no matter how good a deal looks, things can still go sideways.
At this month’s MAREI Real Estate Investor Meeting, we’re bringing together a panel of experienced Kansas City investors to talk openly about the deals that didn’t go according to plan — the unexpected problems, the costly surprises, and the lessons that helped them flip the script and live to invest again.
You’ll hear:
• What actually caused these deals to go wrong
• What they wish they had noticed sooner
• How they made recovery decisions under pressure
• And what they changed moving forwardThis conversation is honest.
It’s real.
And it just might save you thousands of dollars (and a lot of stress).📅 Tuesday, November 11th
⏰ 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
