MAREI's Meeting - Get Fundable Kansas City: Access up to $1M In Business Credit
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kansas City - Overland Park, 10100 College Blvd, Overland Park, KS, USReal estate investors: what's actually stopping your next deal — the deal, or the funding?
For most investors, it's the funding. Hard money eats 2–4 points per deal. HELOCs put your house on the line. And bank lines feel impossible to qualify for. There's a better way — and it comes down to one thing most investors have never heard of: fundability.
Join the Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors (MAREI) on Tuesday, August 11 for a live presentation by Merrill Chandler — co-founder of Lexington Law, founder of CreditSense and Get Fundable!, and one of the only people alive who has worked directly with FICO's own score-development teams.
Merrill will show you how real estate investors and business owners are accessing $100,000 to $1,000,000+ in unsecured business credit lines at Prime +1% — with no tax returns, no financial statements, and no collateral. His community has funded over $300 million at a documented 93% first-time approval rate.
What you'll learn:
- What "fundability" is and how it's completely different from credit repair
- The 40+ borrower data points banks actually score (your FICO number is just the start)
- How to align your personal profile, business entity, and banking behavior to the exact criteria lenders use
- The common investor mistakes that trigger automatic denials
- How to fund flips, rentals, and small businesses with revolving unsecured lines
- The "Velocity of Money" — how to reuse the same capital deal after deal
Who should come: Flippers, rehabbers, buy-and-hold investors, wholesalers, new investors, and small-business owners who are tired of expensive money slowing them down.
💰 FREE for MAREI members and first-time guests.
Returning guests $35 at the door.
