Missouri investors — if today's numbers have you wondering what still pencils out, read on.

Low inventory, but low demand. High prices and high interest rates. Rising operating expenses and rents that aren't always keeping pace.

If today's real estate market has you wondering what still works, you aren't the only one.

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.
