The Power of 'Teaming Up' Explored at April Meeting

You don't have to go it alone! If you've found a deal but don't have money, or you have rehabbing experience but can't find a house to work on, reach out through the network to find your business Plus-One. Register now for KREIA's April 25th main meeting, "Partnering for Profits."

KREIA has been producing self-made real estate millionaires for more than 40 years. And a lot of "many friends helped make me rich" millionaires. "Your network is your net worth," as they say.

If you'd like to know how to tap KREIA's network in order to team up with other investors to help you accomplish profitable deals, do we have a main meeting for you! It's this month's main meeting!

Please show up on April 25th to hear from the principals in two profitable partnerships:

• Josh Hardy and Brian Hemmerle will walk us through deals they have done together.
• John and Joy Mays, a husband-and-wife team, are partners in business as well as life, and they'll tell you how couples can work together in a family investing business.

We'll have more details for you soon, but go ahead and register now, because you'll want to be in the room for this one!

Q&A With Ed Gibson: Longtime Investor Pays It Forward

"KREIA is the only organization I know of – and I've been around the world eight times – and I have never, in my life, seen a group of people work so hard to try to make you a millionaire. I’m not kidding you."

Ed Gibson was speaking from experience here, and he believes in paying it forward!

Ed is a longtime KREIA member, a past board member, a past Lunch & Learn host, and a patent-holding engineer. He’s married and has four children and six grandchildren.

He is also one of KREIA's biggest cheerleaders, and he credits his investing success to our group. He’s not a typical real estate investor – he divides his energies between the stock market and real estate, and he makes a great case for why he doesn't like to put all his eggs in one basket.

His take on the synergy of two-prong investing is fascinating, and we sat down with him a couple of months ago to pick his brain – coming away with thousands of words of pure gold.

There wasn't room to fit the full interview in print and, trust us, you’ll want to read the whole thing. In the full transcript Ed talks about how he rehabs houses, he shares his investing strategy, gives specific recommendations, gives shoutouts to his many mentors, and offers solid advice.

Louisville Deputy Mayor Pat Mulloy Addresses KREIA

Pat Mulloy, Louisville's Deputy Mayor for Economic Development, addressed real estate investors at KREIA's Sept. 28, 2023, main meeting. He described Mayor Greenberg's "My Louisville Home plan," which is designed to add 15,000 affordable housing units to the city.

Investors, are you ready to help meet the challenge?

Help the Children: Help the Home of the Innocents

The Home of the Innocents is a Louisville organization that takes care of abused, neglected, and medically fragile children. Even though we presented our annual check to the Home at our Holiday Party, the need for our assistance continues. Please make a much-needed gift to the Home through our fundraising page. (It's tax-deductible for you!) Or by purchasing something the children need that's mentioned on their Wish List.
