Leap Year comes once every 4 years. This Leap Year Day, Saturday, February 29th, will be memorable -- because that's when KREIA is holding a day-long retreat at Taylorsville Lake. It'll be a full day of networking, socializing and educational seminars.

Here's a look at our speaker list so far:

• Harry Borders will cover the basics of real estate law and then, with an assist from paralegal Renee Buster, address entities and asset protection. Harry is an attorney with Borders & Borders.

• Joe Hampton will walk us through 1031 Exchanges and commercial real estate deals. Joe is a KREIA Past President and also a broker with RE/MAX.

• Chris McCarty will describe how to lend money and invest inside your IRA. Chris is the current KREIA President and also heads the FlippinLoan.com hard-money lending company.

• Dennis Erhard will address how to build wealth through real estate. Dennis is a KREIA Past President and a cashflow landlord.

• Frank Miller will cover wholesaling and house flipping. Frank is also a KREIA Past President and he heads up the investor coaching company Believe Investment Group.

A couple of KREIA members are volunteering their cabins as the venues for this event, and lunch will be provided by KREIA sponsor Mike Fallot of MM Lending.

KREIA's Leap Into Real Estate is free to attend, but you'll need to register and put down a $20 good faith deposit here -- because seats are limited. When you sign in on site on Leap Day in Taylorsville, you'll be refunded your deposit. If you don't show up, however, your deposit will be donated to the Home of the Innocents. We think you'll agree that that's a good use of your funds. (But we hope to see you in your seat on Leap Day!)

Event organizers are Hampton Scurlock and Katie Crotzer.
