AI Investor Challenge Is FREE
In this workshop you'll actually build AI systems that find motivated sellers, automate follow-up, streamline your portfolio, automate property management, and create a Real Estate Operating System that works 24/7. For free! On Saturday, August 22nd. Find out more and get your registration link!
Whether you're actively hunting for your next deal or already own a portfolio, the problem is the same: too many investors have built businesses that depend on them to keep everything moving.
Leads need follow-up. Sellers need responses. Appointments need booking. Residents need managing. Communications need handling.
And when you stop doing it? Everything slows down — or stops.
That's why you need to stop puttering around with AI, and put it to work running a Real Estate Operating System designed to automate a lot of those day-to-day tasks.
This online workshop with REIBlackbook founder Damon Remy isn't about showing you what AI can do for you. It's about putting AI to work, right in real time, where it can make a measurable difference in your real estate business right now.

'How to Be a Slumlord'
Hello, KREIA Family,
I know you saw the title of this article, and hopefully it got your attention. Good.
Because whenever you hear the word slumlord, it should make you feel some type of way. Either you think, "I never want to be one," or you start hoping nobody finds out you own that property.
A slumlord is a person or business that intentionally allows residents to live in unacceptable conditions for the purpose of making a profit.
Slumlords make excuses. They say things like, "My rents are low," or, "I'm keeping it affordable." The truth is, a slumlord simply doesn't want to fix anything. They don't want to upgrade the property. They don't want to maintain it. They will create whatever justification they need to feel good about doing the absolute least possible while still collecting rent....

Go Hands-On with Walkthroughs to Learn Investing
One of the best ways to learn real estate investing is to get out of the classroom and into the house.
That is exactly what happened at a recent KREIA New Investor Focus Group event, where experienced investor and longtime KREIA member Eric George led newer investors through a live property walkthrough. The goal was practical: show how an experienced investor evaluates a property before deciding whether to submit an offer.
Instead of simply talking about rehabs, repairs, and estimating, the group walked through an actual house and discussed what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to think through potential risks before buying.
