Are you an "Informed Investor", those who are a part of their local REIA are generally more informed than the average investor.

Are you using assignement of contract to wholesale houses in Missouri?
You need to read this article in our newsletter

Senate Bill 973 takes effect August 28 — and if you wholesale in Missouri, it changes how you do deals. Think a mandatory 14-day disclosure window before any contract is signed, new sale-leaseback protections, and real risk to your earnest money if you skip a step.

We break down what it actually means for investors, in plain English. (Not legal advice — but exactly what you need to know before your next deal.)

Did you know that MAREI members earned an average of $353.97 back from The Home Depot the 2nd half of 2025. Just for shopping where they already shop.

Through MAREI and National REIA's Pro Rewards program, members get a 2% biannual rebate, 20% off paint, and volume pricing on the materials you're already buying. The Home Depot paid out over $128,000 in rebates to members in just the second half of 2025.

If you're rehabbing and not enrolled, you're leaving money on the table.

🏠 Sponsor Spotlight: 816 Property Management

Owning rentals is one thing. Managing everything that comes with them is another.

Meagan Kang, Nick Helm, and the team at 816 Property Management help Kansas City rental property owners handle the day-to-day work that keeps their properties occupied, maintained, and performing.

As real estate investors and agents themselves, they understand property management from an owner's perspective—not just the management side.

✔️ Marketing & Tenant Placement
✔️ Applicant Screening & Leasing
✔️ Rent Collection & Owner Reporting
✔️ Maintenance & Turnovers
✔️ Make-Readies & Renovations
✔️ Rental & Investment Property Analysis

And if you only need help finding and placing a tenant, they offer tenant-placement services without requiring an ongoing management agreement.

We're proud to have 816 Property Management as a MAREI Sponsor and part of our local real estate investor community.

You can find them in the MAREI Business Directory at MAREI.org and in our newsletter.

So the topic for the meeting tonight is "GetFundable".
But what the heck does that mean?

Here's the thing, everything you think you know about your credit score might be wrong.

Ask ten investors what it takes to get a bank to say "yes" and nine will say the same thing: a good credit score. But funding expert Merrill Chandler says your score is one of the LAST things a lender actually looks at. His clients have secured more than $300 MILLION in funding.

We talked with him to learn more and that turned into a 3 page article in this month's newsletter where he breaks down what banks really weigh — and the 5 steps to becoming a "Qualified Fundable Entity."
