MAIN MEETING: 

THE MILLIONAIRE PANEL: 
Could You Build $1 Million in Real Estate
Over the Next 24 Months Starting Today?

Thursday, 9/10/2026 

The Millionaire Panel:
Could You Build $1 Million in Real Estate Over the Next 24 Months Starting Today?
If You Had to Start from Scratch, What Would You Do?

Join MREIA on Thursday, September 10 for one of our most anticipated events of the year—a live panel featuring accomplished real estate investors who have each built significant success in the business.

Rather than sharing their personal success stories, our panelists will tackle a much more interesting question:

If you had to start over today—with no properties, no money, no contacts, and no established business—but you kept all the knowledge you've gained over the years, how would you build $1 million in real estate over the next 24 months?

This is an opportunity to hear how experienced investors would approach today's market if they were starting over with nothing but the knowledge they've gained through years of investing.

Each panelist will share how they would approach building a real estate business from the ground up in today's environment, including:

• Where they would focus their time and energy first
• Which investment strategies they believe offer the greatest opportunity today
• What they would avoid
• How they would build relationships and find deals
• The habits, skills, and decisions they believe matter most during the first two years

Just as important, you'll hear where the panelists disagree. Every successful investor has a different approach, and comparing those perspectives often provides some of the most valuable lessons.

Whether you're just getting started or you've been investing for years, this meeting offers a rare opportunity to hear how experienced investors would navigate today's market if they had the chance to begin again.

Bring your questions, take notes, and join us for an evening of thoughtful discussion, practical ideas, and real-world perspective from investors who have already achieved what many aspire to accomplish.

We look forward to seeing you at MREIA's September Main Meeting!

THE SELL WITH OWNER FINANCING 

6-WEEK IMPLEMENTATION SERIES

August 12 through September 16

Wednesday Nights, August 12-September 16
ON ZOOM
The MREIA Members-Only Implementation Series:
How to SELL Properties with Owner Financing
Turn Equity into Monthly Income

PLUS Weekly Deal Labs
Mondays, Noon-1:00 p.m. Eastern
(No Deal Lab on Labor Day, September 7.)

For years, the choices seemed simple.

Keep the property as a rental, or sell it for cash.

But today's market has changed the math.

Many rentals no longer generate the cash flow they once did. Insurance, taxes, maintenance, repairs, and management costs continue to rise. Other properties are sitting vacant, have become management headaches, or simply aren't producing the returns you expected.

Many intended flips sit on the market for months, gathering holding costs, competing with other, newer listings until the only thing to do is drop the price.

But we’ve all forgotten that there’s a tried and true third option that for CENTURIES, has let investors:

• Sell for a higher price than a cash buyer wants to pay
• Turn your equity into long-term passive monthly income.
• Eliminate taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancies, and tenant headaches.
• Create a note that, if structured properly, may later be sold for a lump sum of cash if your needs change.

It’s called selling properties with owner financing, and especially today, the opportunity is tremendous.

The challenge is knowing how to structure these transactions correctly…safely…in accordance with the law…and so they have the highest possible chance of succeeding.

And that's exactly what this 6 week implementation series is designed to help you do.

This Is NOT Just Another Class
This is an implementation program.

During these six weeks, you'll work through every step required to complete an owner-financed sale.

If you already have a property you’d like to sell with owner financing, you'll be encouraged to evaluate it, market it, screen buyers, and during the 6 weeks.

If you don't have one? You’ll pick a sample property in your market, and work through the complete process using it,  so you'll be ready when the opportunity presents itself.

Every week you'll complete implementation assignments, then return the following week to the next step and continue moving your transaction forward.

To make doubly sure you’re really ready to take action at the end of 6 weeks, you'll also have access to weekly Deal Labs where you can ask questions and solve specific deal problems.

Plus, you’ll have 24 hour access to a private cohort discussion with your fellow registrants, so you're never trying to figure things out alone.

During This Workshop You'll Learn How To:

• Decide whether owner financing is the right exit strategy for any given property
• Identify the best future properties and neighborhoods for owner-financed sales.
• Structure terms that protect you while creating value for your buyer.
• Determine down payments, interest rates, monthly payments, amortization, and balloon terms.
• Stay within the boundaries of federal, state, and local laws governing the sale of owner financed properties.
• Market owner-financed properties effectively.
• Screen buyers and negotiate confidently.
• Use the proper contracts, disclosures, and closing procedures.
• Structure notes that can become long-term income or be sold later if you choose.
• Complete an owner-financed sale from start to finish.

Included With Your Registration

• Six live 90-minute implementation workshops, on Zoom.
• Five live Deal Labs (Noon Eastern) for coaching and troubleshooting.
• A comprehensive implementation workbook.
• Sample contracts, forms, and checklists.
• A private WhatsApp or Voxer group for your cohort.
• Recordings of each session for your education library
• Instruction from investors with extensive real-world experience successfully selling properties with owner financing.

Faculty

This workshop is taught by a team of experienced real estate investors who have completed numerous owner-financed transactions. Throughout the six weeks, they'll share not only proven systems and documentation, but also the practical lessons they've learned from doing these deals in the real world.

Highlights of Past Events

MREIA'S JERSEY GIRLS UNION BEACH HOUSE INSPECTION

Thanks to everyone who joined us this past weekend  for the "The Jersey Girls (Kimberly, Baronda & Joyce!)  Union Beach House Inspection.

Attendees toured the home with an eye on condition, the quality of construction, and  layout of the property.

MREIA's newest vendor Sary from Floor Coverings International,   gave us a mini-course on the different kinds of flooring options available today.

Proximity to the beach (4 blocks away), discussions about FEMA's Flood Designations, as well as a review of the home's potential as an investment property were also on the agenda.

All in all, a fun educational day.

MREIA'S TRIP TO THE SIMPLEX MANUFACTURED HOUSING TOUR

On Saturday over 30 MREIA members visited the Simplex factory in Scranton Pa. to learn all about Manufactured Housing.

Highlights included touring the factory floor as well as learning the  process from soup to nuts.

Touring several finished Simplex Modular Homes was also a treat.

 Members not familiar with modular housing, were amazed to learn the size and scope of homes built in the factory.

 After which an  informal onsite seminar was held to discuss what we learned and ideas on investing strategies using modular housing.

From there we went to inspect lots owned by long-time MREIA Member "Pocono Joe". 

Joe’s specialty is purchasing at property deed auctions in Pa and was gracious enough to share his expertise with his fellow MREIA Members.
