Kansas City Real Estate Investor Meetup

2026 is a different kind of market. Sales are slower. Prices are falling. Rents are flat or down. Costs are up. What worked in 2021 won’t cut it now.

But if you know what to do, this market is better—because skill beats luck, and most of your competition is already sitting on the sidelines.
In this full-day online workshop, 35-year veteran of the ups and downs of the real estate market Vena Jones-Cox will show you:

• How to confidently analyze deals in a falling or flat market—a skill your competitors don’t have, and that’s keeping them OUT of this opportunity-filled market
• The art of making offers when you offer is way lower, or on different terms, than the seller is asking
• How to rescue bad buys and reposition struggling properties—and when and how to walk away, if that’s what’s called for
• How to lead with strategy—not fear—and thrive when others hesitate
• And how to build your personal 90-day plan to profit in this cycle

Rental property expenses keep climbing—insurance, taxes, repairs—while rents haven’t kept pace. For many investors, rentals feel less predictable than they used to.

At our January MAREI meeting, we’re taking a clear, practical look at why more investors are rethinking rentals and how notes and seller financing are being used to create more predictable monthly income—without tenants or rehabs.

This meeting is designed to help you understand:

• Why traditional rentals have become harder to predict
• How banks get paid every month—and why that matters
• What mortgage notes are (in plain English)
• Why notes can create steadier income than rentals
• How investors can get started without a huge amount of cash

Seller financing is exploding online right now—but very few people teach how to do it correctly.

If you want clear, practical guidance before structuring your first seller-financed note, this workshop is for you.

Rental expenses keep rising. Returns keep shrinking. And many investors are starting to ask whether it’s time to “be the bank” instead of the landlord.

Seller-financed mortgage notes can create cleaner, more predictable cash flow—but only when they’re structured the right way. This workshop gives you the essential knowledge you need before doing your first note deal.

We’re bringing in Jeff Watson, a long-time investor and attorney with 30+ years of experience and a national instructor for NoteSchool. Jeff will walk you through the fundamentals behind safe, compliant, profitable seller-financed notes.

This is the “102” follow-up to our January 13th meeting—less theory, more real-world mechanics. (If you miss the meeting and sign up for the class, we will make sure you get the replay)
