Kansas City Real Estate Investor Meetup

An apartment building can look like a great deal right up until you dig into the numbers. The rents look promising.

The seller says there's room to raise them. The price seems reasonable. The operating costs are relatively low.

But what will the building actually cost to operate? What happens if the income doesn't grow as quickly as you hoped? And how do you decide what you can afford to pay?

If you're a new apartment buyer who wants to be a successful apartment buyer, the skill that matters most is knowing how to evaluate the investment before you buy it.

Join Charles Seaman (he's a partner in 422 units, so he knows how to do this!) for a hands-on day devoted mostly to answering the question, "What should I pay for this apartment building?"

NOTE: RSVPing here does NOT get you a link. You'll need to register at our website to do that: MAREI.org/Calendar

He'll walk you through the process step by step, so you can look at an apartment opportunity and make a more informed decision about whether to pursue it, what questions to ask, and where the risks may be hiding.

YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:

• Find apartment opportunities worth taking a closer look at.
• Work through an apartment investment step by step instead of relying on the asking price, the seller's projections, or a gut feeling.
• Examine the income, expenses, and assumptions that determine whether the deal makes sense.
• Make an offer that lets you do the OTHER due diligence and have the other contingencies you'll want, even after the offer is accepted.
• Understand the people you need on your team to investigate and complete an apartment purchase.
• Put together a capital stack: the combination of financing and investor money that can make a larger purchase possible.

If apartments are on your radar, this workshop will give you a practical way to start answering the question that counts: Is this the right building to buy?

WHO THIS IS FOR:
Investors who plan to buy their first apartment building, landlords ready to move up from houses, and anyone putting money into other people's deals who wants to check the numbers.

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR:
Anyone looking for a quick overview. This is a six-hour working class, and most of it is spent on the numbers.

8:00 AM to 2:00 PM Central
Live on Zoom

Ever wonder how the ultra-wealthy actually got that way — and stay that way? You may not be inventing the next gadget or dropping $3 million on a single deal, but you can put many of the same tools and strategies to work in your own real estate investing — starting right where you are.

Our October speaker is Bob Fraser — co-founder and CFO of Kansas City's own Aspen Funds ($500M+ in private credit, real estate, and energy), and the USA Today bestselling author of Invest Like a Billionaire.

He lost a $250 million fortune twice before cracking how billionaires really invest, and he's coming to MAREI to share what he learned.

Here's what you'll take home:

• What billionaires actually own — and why 50–60% of it isn't stocks
• The alternatives hiding in plain sight: private notes, lending, energy, funds
• How the wealthy legally shrink the tax bill on every dollar
• How to organize and structure what you've already built
• How to spot a great operator — and walk away from a loser
• How to read a PPM and understand the key terms in any private deal

New to real estate investing? Come as our guest — first-timers are always welcome, and you'll find a room full of local investors happy to help you get started.
