Take a Crash Course on Shared Housing

Online Masterclass: Shared Housing for Profit and Impact
with Tiffani Ray

Want a lot more cash flow from your rental properties?

Want to help solve the housing crisis and build massive income doing it?

Then it's time you learned about the hottest, least competitive, most profitable rental strategy of the decade: shared housing.

It's high-demand, recession-resistant, and scalable — but as you might guess, you also need to know some things that the typical real estate investor doesn't.

So, spend a day with Tiffani Ray, a former banker and the current president of Cincinnati REIA. She's spent decades rehabbing and renting properties the traditional way — until she discovered how much more impact (and income) she could generate through shared housing.

Now she's teaching you how to:

• Understand both licensed and unlicensed shared housing models
• Select the right home — and know when to rent it vs. own it
• Build a day-to-day operating strategy that works
• Market to the right audiences fast
• Screen residents effectively and ethically
• Get paid (and keep getting paid)
• Avoid top mistakes investors make
• Apply real lessons from real case studies

If you've ever wanted a business that does good and makes money — shared housing might be exactly what you've been looking for. Register now! Members, registration is only $47 for you if you sign up by midnight of Thursday, August 7..

Q&A With Nan Upton: Past President Shares Journey

Nan Upton started out as a teacher, and in her time on KREIA's board and as KREIA President (2005 - 2006), she was able to help others learn how to use real estate investments as a vehicle for reaching financial freedom.

We sat down to lunch with Nan one day in 2024 and plied her with many questions, which she graciously answered. Her journey as a single mother working hard to provide for her children — and navigating the '80s and '90s as a woman competing, and winning, in what many considered a man's game — is an inspirational one.

She has many tips and life lessons to share. And she describes how medical crises bookended the most active period in her investing career.

KREIA Co-Founder Noble Roberts, 1925-2025

KREIA was founded in 1978 by three men — Noble Roberts, Gene Dyson, and Rue McFarland. Noble was named our first president. From KREIA's beginning, with about 12 members, we have grown strong to over 800 members, and more join every day.

We would like to thank Noble Roberts for leading us, inspiring us, and for helping so many men and women learn how to invest in real estate. Following his example, many of us have reached financial freedom, allowing us to secure our families' futures. And we'd like to thank him for showing us how to provide safe housing for so many other families.

Noble lived 99 abundant years of service to his country and his community. He was a soldier in WWII, a professor of biology, and a leader in his church.

Noble Lafayette Roberts, of Shelbyville, Kentucky, died on Sunday, January 19, 2025, at the age of 99, just a few months shy of reaching 100 years old.  Noble was born June 10, 1925, in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
