KREIA's Rob Bergeron invites several Louisville real estate investors to share stories of house rehabs gone wrong. You'll hear worst-case scenarios involved in buying houses sight-unseen and what can happen if you pay contractors up front. Panelists include Frank Miller, Joe Worth, John Jones, Nick Schweitzer and Luke Neubauer.

Yes, we're having a KREIA meeting in April! In a first for KREIA, this main meeting will take the form of an online video conference call. It is free to attend. We know this is a time of confusion and stress, so in this meeting we're going to bring you the facts -- not the conjecture.

Pre-registration is required, and it is limited to active KREIA members only. Please register sooner rather than later so that we can plan accordingly. Our virtual meeting room does have a capacity cutoff. Make sure you're logged in and... CLICK HERE FOR THE PRE-REGISTRATION PAGE

Did you miss the National REIA video conference call from Friday, April 10? Catch the replay on YouTube. Charles Tassell, NREIA COO and Director of Legislative Affairs, gives an update on relief programs, and Equity Trust's John Bowens answers questions about how COVID-19 is impacting your self-directed IRA.

Investors who have been disadvantaged by COVID-19 are allowed to withdraw up to $100,000 from their IRAs and are given up to three years to pay it back, penalty-free, but Bowens expalins why that might not be a great idea.

Are you getting everything out of KREIA that you can? We may be socially distancing offline, but KREIA is still working online to connect with and deliver big benefits to its members. Board member Rick Littrell joins Rob Bergeron to give us an overview of the discounts, resources, educational and networking opportunities you get just by being a KREIA member. (Psst! If you spend any amount of money at all at Home Depot on your house rehabbing projects, it really pays you to be a KREIA member!)

As the impact of COVID-19 continues to evolve, investors are looking for ways to help offset the losses that may be felt from the pandemic. We have compiled a working list of resources for you to review, which may be helpful to explore and take advantage of.

This list includes info on the Paycheck Protection Program, EIDL Loan Emergency Advance, SBA Express Bridge Loans and SBA Debt Relief. 

Louisville Metro resources include the Small Business Continuity Loan Program, which provides zero-interest loans (with no payments for 12 months) to our smallest businesses (10 full-time employees or fewer) impacted by COVID-19.

Get info on all these programs on our new COVID-19 Resources page.
