KREIA's Holiday Party Happens Saturday, Dec. 7

Celebrate another year of investing with KREIA's annual Holiday Party!

Our parties are always epic, and you'll have a blast this year too. Master of Ceremonies (and Party Planner for Life) Frank Miller is organizing this shindig.

SIGN UP NOW! Register friends and family too! The more the merrier!

We're bringing in a DJ to set the mood and get us in our groove. There will be prizes, surprises, and maybe even some dancing. Not to mention Woodhaven's tasty hors d'oeuvres and tipples.

We'll find out who the next recipient of the Ed Melton Award is, and we'll make our annual contribution to the Home of the Innocents -- please help us make it a big one! The kids deserve it so much!

Would you like to help sponsor the Holiday Party? It's fun to bring the fun! You and your business will get recognition, exposure, and much gratitude from KREIA members. Sponsor packages start at only $250! Find out more.

John Mays' October 2024 President's Message

KREIA President John Mays previews our Oct. 24th main meeting, "Real Estate Law," which features attorneys Michelle Rawn and John Benz updating us on what landlords need to know, including info on Louisville's new Lead-Based Paint ordinance. REGISTER NOW if you haven't already!

John also shows us the gift card he received from Home Depot -- a benefit of KREIA that can more than pay for an annual KREIA membership! If you aren't already taking advantage of Home Depot's discounts, rebates and rewards, you're leaving a LOT of money on the table!

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.

If you're an active KREIA member currently logged into your account, you can read the full interview here.

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.
