Why Notes Beat Rentals in 2026: MAREI Meeting (Get the Replay or attend in KS)

For many investors across Oklahoma, rentals don’t feel as predictable as they once did. Rising insurance costs, higher taxes, and more expensive repairs have changed the math.

At our January MAREI meeting in Overland Park Kansas, we’re taking a practical look at why investors across the region 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 being recorded and all who pre-register can attend AND get the replay.

This meeting is a strong fit if you:

• Own rentals or are considering your next strategy
• Want steadier income without adding more properties
• Are hearing about notes and seller financing but want clear, real-world explanations

### What We’ll Cover

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

This is an introductory, educational session. No prior experience with notes or seller financing is required.
