Invest in Mobile Homes? Learn How!

Mobile homes on land are hidden goldmines. The returns are high, competition is low, and demand is huge. Sick of rentals that don't pencil out? REGISTER for Saturday's Zoom class and learn why mobiles might be your next right move.

Bestselling author Adrian Smude has built a "lifestyle-first" investing business that lets him spend more time enjoying friends, family, and hobbies from this niche that most investors overlook. In this one-day, no-fluff workshop, he'll show you exactly how he does it — and how you can, too. (For as little as $57 if you're a KREIA member who signs up inside the early-bird pricing window.)

On Saturday, Oct. 11th, you'll learn:

• Why mobile homes are one of the most profitable niches in real estate
• How to buy them with minimal cash and no banks
• Financing strategies that work even if you don't qualify for loans
• Real-world case studies and an open Q&A with Adrian
• and More!

BONUS: A copy of Adrian Smude's audiobook, How to Buy Mobile Homes: The Unorthodox Guide to Capitalizing on a Hidden Niche in Real Estate Investing, is included with your registration.

Why Now Is the Best Time to Join KREIA

Any time you decide to join KREIA is a good time to do it. If you're a new investor, or someone who wants to be, what you learn through KREIA can propel you toward financial freedom. If you're already investing, the networking opportunities you'll find in KREIA are golden.

But NOW is the BEST time to join KREIA, and here's why:

• Because we're a little over a month out from sending our mailing list of active KREIA members to the printing house we use to produce our annual directory. If you're on that list, you'll receive your copy of our 2026 Member Directory & Resource Guide soon. And we only mail them out once a year. (If you're not on the list because you join after the mailing, you'll need to show up at a main meeting to claim your copy.)
• Your membership includes your invitation to attend our monthly L.O.T.S. programs — to Learn On The Site. We host 10 of them a year. It's like going behind the scenes of your favorite house-flipping TV show.
• Your membershop includes a monthly newsletter full of educational information and ads from investor-friendly businesses that offer products and services just for real estate entrepreneurs. Members also have access to past newsletters going back to 2014.
• Your membership includes access to videos from past KREIA events. (We're catching up on posting videos, but there's a back catalog of members-only videos from dozens of educational main meetings, L.O.T.S. events, Lunch & Learn meetups, workshops, and more.)

If you join KREIA right now, for only $125/year, you'll be getting SO MUCH value — you'll get $100 in free lunches at L.O.T.S. events alone! And that's before we even get to the other benefits, which include deep discounts at Home Depot, and also rebates from Home Depot that could pay for your KREIA membership many times over.

It's like WE'RE PAYING YOU to join KREIA to learn how to become financially free through real estate, right here in Kentuckiana.

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.
