We're inviting a panel of investors to make a case for their favorite types of properties: Single-family homes or multifamily. Which do you put in your portfolio? If you're a new landlord or want to be one, what would you like to invest in?

Our panel will discuss how single-family homes and apartments -- and also duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes -- are alike and also how they're different in regard to financing, due diligence, property management, rehabbing, profitability, and more.

Our expert investor panel will include:

• Ray Hass, a longtime multifamily investor who will talk about his experience with apartments
• Martha Schildknecht, who, along with her husband, Hank, has built a portfolio of single-family rentals
• Kim and Todd Hunter, who've been investing in single-family properties for 19 years (along with flipping and wholesaling)
• Luke Neubauer, who's jumped feet-first into investing and, along with his wife, Christina, has put together a rental portfolio

We know you've got questions, so please write them down in advance. You'll have a chance to ask them at the meeting. Find out everything you've wanted to know!

Also, there will be a Saturday workshop to follow!

EARLY MEETING: Starting at 5:30 p.m., KREIA President Chris McCarty will be describing how he's invested tax-deferred and tax-free inside his IRA. Did you know you can buy rentals and even flip houses using funds from your Individual Retirement Account? There are rules to follow but also many possibilities for what you can do. Your IRA can make loans to other investors -- and it can also borrow! So even if you're starting out with a brand-new Roth IRA that you've just funded using $6,000 of your hard-earned dollars, you can still jump into rentals. You will need to work through an IRA custodian, of course, such as Equity Trust, and Chris will describe how he's done that in his decades of IRA investing.
