Building Wealth Too Slowly? How to Do It Better

Sometimes our Saturday classes are about specific real estate skills and tactics that need more time than our regular meetings allow for.

Sometimes, and just as importantly, they focus on the BIG picture — understanding money, and finance, and how to use what you have to get what you want.

This is one of the latter — and if your goal is to build long-term, lifetime, generational wealth, you need to be here.

George Antone, our favorite financial genius and best-selling author (The Wealthy Code and The Banker's Code), joins us to teach this eye-opening workshop on one of the biggest mistakes real estate investors make.

Join us on June 13th for a 6-hour class. And if you register by June 11th, you'll get a big discount.

KREIA Raises $23,600 for Home of the Innocents

At our 2025 Holiday Party, KREIA co-founder Rue Mcfarland presented officials from the Home of the Innocents with the amount we raised over the year: $23,600!

Treasurer Mike Grinnan said this is the 2nd-highest amount we've raised for HOTI. Go, us!

And the Home is so deserving of every bit of help they can get. They truly do the work of the angels in taking care of Kentuckiana's abandoned, neglected, abused, and medically fragile children. Let's top that amount in 2026! Who's with us?

If you missed supporting the Home at our Dec. 6 party, there's still time to donate — and it's tax-deductible! Head on over to KREIA's revised fundraising page. 

Code Enforcement Lien Waivers? Louisville Is Doing It!

Investors, have you been frustrated in your attempts to purchase and renovate vacant and abandoned properties? By code enforcement liens that can run into the tens of thousands of dollars?

Start your engines, because Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg has launched a code enforcement lien waiver pilot program for investors who rehab vacant houses for resale or for rent. Are there rules? Yes, a few.

Watch this video interview with the Mayor and KREIA President John Mays to find out more about the program, how to put in an application, and get ready to help the Mayor reach his objective of rehabilitating "hundreds and hundreds and hundreds" of houses!

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 Lists.
