John Mays Previews March 27th Main Meeting

The March main meeting is a must-attend event for investors who want to SCALE. KREIA President John Mays gives us a glimpse of what we'll learn. PLUS, he reveals how much Home Depot paid investors over two quarters just for being KREIA members who buy rehab materials at their stores. It pays to be a KREIA member! In some cases, Home Depot will pay you MANY times the cost of your KREIA membership. (Not a member? Join here)


KREIA Co-Founder Noble Roberts, 1925-2025

Noble RobertsKREIA 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.

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

Ed Gibson"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.

The Home of the Innocents is a Louisville organization that takes care of abused, neglected, and medically fragile children.

(It's tax-deductible for you!) Or by purchasing something the children need that's mentioned on their Wish List.
