Banks Are Not Our Friends
Author: Kim Tucker
2013 RE investment News 52013 RE investment News 5
Scenario #1: Well Seasoned Investor who has been investing in real estate for many years has a $100,000 line of
credit at their bank. They have never been late or missed a payment. They get a new property under contract, contact
the bank for the wire to close to find the line of credit has been canceled. Deal is lost.
Scenario #2: The same investor has 10 rental properties on a note with the local bank. Has never been late, has never
missed a payment and has rolled the note 3 times. His original note amortized over 20 years and has a 2 year balloon,
but with good stead payments, the note can be renewed every 2 years. He is all set to renew and he gets told he has to
pay off the note or be foreclosed on. No other bank is lending and he does not have the full amount in cash, so he
looses all 10 properties to foreclosure. Investors Credit is Shot.
So these two scenarios played out over and over and over again since 2007 as the banks stopped lending to investors,
started calling notes due and pretty much put a halt to all lending for a while.
Then banks, well they are slowly coming back to life and offering some loans to the real estate investor again if you
can find the bank, have the down payment and can meet their requirements and many can’t because of Scenario #2,
because they could not refinance a note, the bank foreclosed and now they have a foreclosure on their record, so no
more loans for a while.
Well back in 2007 and 2008 there was a very little known secret called Private Lenders. The Real Estate Investor who
had the private lender could gain access to money faster than working with the banks and mortgage companies, could
get loans for less closing costs if any, and for a lot less in interest.
Because the private lender is lending partly because of the investors credibility and experience and based on the equity
in the house, typically there is no credit check involved. And because you are borrowing or partnering with a private
individual, there is no reporting to the credit bureau. This is a good thing, not because you are going to default on the
loan but because it keeps your credit clean of multiple house loans so when you need to use your credit to get a mort-
gage, it is available to do so. Remember, often times lenders say you can only have so many loans in your own name
on your credit report. So if the private lender does not report it, the loan does not count against this arbitrary number
of traditional loans you can obtain.
Fast forward to 2013 and Private Lender and Private Partner and Joint Venture are the catch phase.
So with a traditional bank, you and I, the general public put our money in the bank for safe keeping and hopefully a

out the middle man spread. The Real Es-
tate Investor pays less for the money and
the Private Money Lender makes more for
their investment. “

1% rate of return on our money. In
turn the bank lends it back to us for
say 6% interest. They make the
spread.
With the Hard Money Lender, the
guys that charge more . . . they take
contributions to their fund from
people wanting a better rate of re-
turn and offer them a much better
rate of return than the bank will
pay . The Hard Money Lender then
administers the fund to lend money
back out to the real estate investor
with Points up front and a much
larger interest rate.
With the Private Money Lender, we
take out the middle man spread.
The Real Estate Investor pays less
for the money and the Private Mon-
ey Lender makes more for their in-
vestment. But because the middle
man is not there to deal with the fall
out should things go south, there is
more risk, but remember the private
lender is getting paid more to take
on that risk.
So where are you going to find a
private lender . . . well, typically
they are going to be people that
know you who know and trust you
both on a personal level as well as
your business sense in investing in
real estate who are going to be will-
ing to take the risk to lend you
money.
u might remember back in
2003
There are steps you can take to
attract the people you know so
they want to do a deal with you.
The best being letting them
know about your latest great
deal you have just completed.
The more good deals you do, the
more likely they are to want to
partner with you. My first two
private lenders, well , they came
to me. “If I could do one or two
more deals a year with their
money and pay them $5,000 a

Legislative
deal, would it be worth it too me?”
Sure, we did several, I made more
money and they made more money
and my intro to the world of Private
Money was started.

A Brand New Year
Dustin Keller
Executive Director
A Brand New Year
Here in the MAREI Office the topic of conversation over the last month has shifted from idea to
idea, with the goal of making MAREI even better in the 2014 year. We’ve listened to the opinions
of members and guests alike, taking each suggestion into careful consideration. With the help of
our members, hard work, and dedication we’re proud to present a final product.
This month long brainstorming session spawned what can only be described as ‘massive potential’
for the future of MAREI. We have always set our goals to educate and connect real estate inves-
tors, and in 2014, were taking it to the next level.
Take a look at a couple of the BIG changes for 2014:
Roving Meeting:
Each month we love the feed-
back from our members, and
each month we have heard two
things quite often. The first of
which is, “Why isn’t the meet-
ing closer?” Our members
come from all around the Kan-
sas City area and it is not al-
ways convenient for them to
make it to each of our meetings.
The second thing we hear is,
“We love networking, Why not
more of it?” With both of those
thoughts in mind we are happy
to announce the Roving Meet-
ing.
MAREI is going to take a small
road trip around Kansas City
every month. There is nothing
better than having the meeting
just minutes away! MAREI will
be ending our Northland Meet-
ing, and bringing the meeting to
you. North, South, East, West,
Here we come!
“What about more network-
ing?” You ask and you shall re-
ceive. The format of the new
meeting will be focused around
the networking aspect. A short
presentation at the beginning,
ranging from thirty minutes to an
hour, followed by all the network-
ing you can get your hands on!
We are very excited about this
here at the Office and we hope
now you are too!
Webinars and Online Training
If there is one thing that is certain,
MAREI members CANT get
enough education. With more
members each week, and attend-
ance constantly going up, we
have to make sure to keep you
with more options. We have taken
this responsibility to heart and
begun pioneering with the help of
some very talented individuals to
bring you Webinars and Online
Training courses which will
premiere through out 2014.
Make sure to check out the first
Webinar series of the year in January,
with Accurate Title Company. After
their event the past summer we kept
hearing that the members want more.
ATC has graciously agreed to do this
amazing 3 part webinar series and a
Saturday event to get MAREI Mem-
bers more of what they want. Make
sure to keep an eye out this December
for more information.

Professional
Housing Provider
Professional Housing Provider or PHP Certification is a National Designation and
Certification from the National Association of Real Estate Investors.
Earn Your PHP Certification with MAREI
Earn instant credibility and show those you are working with
that you are a professional investor committed to the highest
standard of excellence.
All MAREI educational seminars have been approved for stu-
dents to earn credits towards obtaining the nationally ac-
claimed Professional Housing Provider Certification offered
by the National Real Estate Investors Association (National
REIA).
Details
To earn the PHP Certification, you must complete a minimum
of 60 credit hours of education: 42 hours in required core
subject areas, and 18 additional hours in the subject areas of
your choice. MAREIoffers all the seminars needed to com-
plete this certification program on a two year cycle.
What is the PHP Designation?
The PHP designation is a national education-based certifica-
tion program designed to recognize the high level of
knowledge and professionalism among the designation hold-
ers. It is sponsored and overseen by the National Real Estate
Investors Association, a non-profit trade association serving
the real estate industry.
Why Obtain the PHP Designation?
Only individuals completing the educational requirements will
be permitted to hold themselves out to the public as a
“Professional Housing Provider”. The designee will be recog-
nized in the form of an award certificate, pin, and the right to
use the designation. By having a standardized education in
the topics outlined increase your ability to achieve your goals
in real estate investing.
Further, as National REIA works to increase the visibility of
the PHP designation, individuals who have earned the certifi-
cation are held to a higher standard of credibility when deal-
ing with legal and governmental bodies. It aids legislators in
perceiving educated investors as a larger group for political
action, and in turn, provides our industry with greater legisla-
tive influence.
How Will I Obtain These Hours?
Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors offers
course in all the areas needed to complete this certification.
When attending a MAREI PHP certified training event, at-
tendees must arrive within 5 minutes of the start time to be
issued a PHP Certificate and sign up on the final registration
sheet at the end of the monthly meeting when they turn in
their name tag. Attendance will also be tracked on other
qualifying training events.
Attendees are responsible for keeping track of PHP certifi-
cates and will not be replaced. Attendees are also responsi-
ble for tracking progress towards completion of their PHP
designation. A tracking folder is available for download and at
meetings. Once all courses have been completed, submit
your PHP certificates to the PHP committee for verification of
award.
Please visit the MAREI website or review your Membership
Package for more information about PHP.
In addition, courses completed at MAREI can be combined
with PHP certified courses offered by other National REIA-
associated organizations and conferences. It is possible that
seminars and training events offered by other groups may
qualify for PHP credit; however, all outside training events
must meet the following requirements:
1. They must be taught live
2. The must be pre-approved by the MAREI PHP Commit-
tee
3. They must provide a Certificate of Attendance acceptable
to the MAREI PHP committee.
We are also working on a few online resources through Na-
tional REIA.

Business Membership
By far the best bang for your buck when targeting the Real Estate Professional for
your product or service in the Kansas City Metro would be a Business Membership
with Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors.
The business membership includes all the access to our website and all the dis-
counts that our Standard Investor Membership. However, unlike the Investor
Membership that is for the person, the Business Membership follows the Business.
So as a Business you receive two guest passes to every monthly meeting (20+
meetings a year) that can be used by the same two people or interchanged among
several people each month.
Advertise in our Newsletter
Also included in a Business Membership is an advertisement in our monthly news-
letter, the Investment News. This is published once a month and posted on our
website, our social media pages, several online file sharing sites and emailed out
to our 5000+ database. We highly recommend submitting educational articles for
the newsletter for maximum exposure.
Advertise on our Website
Our website has a Service Provider Section that provides you with a home on our
website where you can create a full page advertisement of your choosing and link
it to your website. Some examples of ad pages might include: a photograph, two
or three short paragraphs, an embedded video, contact information and a sign up
page for your product or service. We can make it as elaborate or as simple as you
would like. Also submit educational articles and videos for our blog.
Host a Vendor Table
While you can do all the advertising in the world in our Newsletter and on our
Website, meeting members face to face at our monthly meetings allows you to get
face to face with the members, build rapport and explain your product or service in
person. To help you facilitate the face to face interaction, we have Vendor Tables
available for a fee from 6:00 to 7:00 before each meeting. These can be reserved
for $25 for one night or $50 for 3 different nights. A Business Membership in-
cludes 3 free annually. Available on a first-come first-served basis.

“I went to the MAREI meeting and was very im-
pressed with the quality of people I met, as well
as the content that was presented. Thank you
for putting that on, and I look forward to next
month’s meeting!”
Joe McDonald, Real Estate Investor
“The main reason for joining was to meet with
other Real Estate Investors in the Kansas City
area. Not only have we done that but we have
also received access to services from other MA-
REI members, among them rehab insurance
and a general contractor.”
Tami and Kerry Hardinger, RE Investors
“I can’t afford to let my membership expire! It
pays for itself. I think you have really done a
good thing creating MAREI. It is a
very important tool.”
Scott Shore, Real Estate Investor / Contractor

  • 4. 4 RE investment News 20134 RE investment News 2013 Banks Are Not Our Friends Author: Kim Tucker
  • 5. 2013 RE investment News 52013 RE investment News 5 Scenario #1: Well Seasoned Investor who has been investing in real estate for many years has a $100,000 line of credit at their bank. They have never been late or missed a payment. They get a new property under contract, contact the bank for the wire to close to find the line of credit has been canceled. Deal is lost. Scenario #2: The same investor has 10 rental properties on a note with the local bank. Has never been late, has never missed a payment and has rolled the note 3 times. His original note amortized over 20 years and has a 2 year balloon, but with good stead payments, the note can be renewed every 2 years. He is all set to renew and he gets told he has to pay off the note or be foreclosed on. No other bank is lending and he does not have the full amount in cash, so he looses all 10 properties to foreclosure. Investors Credit is Shot. So these two scenarios played out over and over and over again since 2007 as the banks stopped lending to investors, started calling notes due and pretty much put a halt to all lending for a while. Then banks, well they are slowly coming back to life and offering some loans to the real estate investor again if you can find the bank, have the down payment and can meet their requirements and many can’t because of Scenario #2, because they could not refinance a note, the bank foreclosed and now they have a foreclosure on their record, so no more loans for a while. Well back in 2007 and 2008 there was a very little known secret called Private Lenders. The Real Estate Investor who had the private lender could gain access to money faster than working with the banks and mortgage companies, could get loans for less closing costs if any, and for a lot less in interest. Because the private lender is lending partly because of the investors credibility and experience and based on the equity in the house, typically there is no credit check involved. And because you are borrowing or partnering with a private individual, there is no reporting to the credit bureau. This is a good thing, not because you are going to default on the loan but because it keeps your credit clean of multiple house loans so when you need to use your credit to get a mort- gage, it is available to do so. Remember, often times lenders say you can only have so many loans in your own name on your credit report. So if the private lender does not report it, the loan does not count against this arbitrary number of traditional loans you can obtain. Fast forward to 2013 and Private Lender and Private Partner and Joint Venture are the catch phase. So with a traditional bank, you and I, the general public put our money in the bank for safe keeping and hopefully a Continued on the Next Page “With the Private Money Lender, we take out the middle man spread. The Real Es- tate Investor pays less for the money and the Private Money Lender makes more for their investment. “
  • 6. 6 RE investment News 2013 1% rate of return on our money. In turn the bank lends it back to us for say 6% interest. They make the spread. With the Hard Money Lender, the guys that charge more . . . they take contributions to their fund from people wanting a better rate of re- turn and offer them a much better rate of return than the bank will pay . The Hard Money Lender then administers the fund to lend money back out to the real estate investor with Points up front and a much larger interest rate. With the Private Money Lender, we take out the middle man spread. The Real Estate Investor pays less for the money and the Private Mon- ey Lender makes more for their in- vestment. But because the middle man is not there to deal with the fall out should things go south, there is more risk, but remember the private lender is getting paid more to take on that risk. So where are you going to find a private lender . . . well, typically they are going to be people that know you who know and trust you both on a personal level as well as your business sense in investing in real estate who are going to be will- ing to take the risk to lend you money. u might remember back in 2003 There are steps you can take to attract the people you know so they want to do a deal with you. The best being letting them know about your latest great deal you have just completed. The more good deals you do, the more likely they are to want to partner with you. My first two private lenders, well , they came to me. “If I could do one or two more deals a year with their money and pay them $5,000 a 6 RE investment News 2013 Legislative deal, would it be worth it too me?” Sure, we did several, I made more money and they made more money and my intro to the world of Private Money was started. Want to learn more? Well I have and a ½ day workshop here in Kansas City on October 19th for Mid- America Association of Private Lend- ers that I hope you can attend . If you are a member of MAREI, be sure to check out the resources in their member library, and please be sure to do some research on Google as there are a ton of resources there. ugh 2006 when Neighborhood Make Sure To Continue with Kim and Private Lending on October 19th at Career Education Systems More Information on this: Private Lending Workshop On Pg 15
  • 7. 2013 RE investment News 7 A Brand New Year Dustin Keller Executive Director A Brand New Year Here in the MAREI Office the topic of conversation over the last month has shifted from idea to idea, with the goal of making MAREI even better in the 2014 year. We’ve listened to the opinions of members and guests alike, taking each suggestion into careful consideration. With the help of our members, hard work, and dedication we’re proud to present a final product. This month long brainstorming session spawned what can only be described as ‘massive potential’ for the future of MAREI. We have always set our goals to educate and connect real estate inves- tors, and in 2014, were taking it to the next level. Take a look at a couple of the BIG changes for 2014: Roving Meeting: Each month we love the feed- back from our members, and each month we have heard two things quite often. The first of which is, “Why isn’t the meet- ing closer?” Our members come from all around the Kan- sas City area and it is not al- ways convenient for them to make it to each of our meetings. The second thing we hear is, “We love networking, Why not more of it?” With both of those thoughts in mind we are happy to announce the Roving Meet- ing. MAREI is going to take a small road trip around Kansas City every month. There is nothing better than having the meeting just minutes away! MAREI will be ending our Northland Meet- ing, and bringing the meeting to you. North, South, East, West, Here we come! “What about more network- ing?” You ask and you shall re- ceive. The format of the new meeting will be focused around the networking aspect. A short presentation at the beginning, ranging from thirty minutes to an hour, followed by all the network- ing you can get your hands on! We are very excited about this here at the Office and we hope now you are too! Webinars and Online Training If there is one thing that is certain, MAREI members CANT get enough education. With more members each week, and attend- ance constantly going up, we have to make sure to keep you with more options. We have taken this responsibility to heart and begun pioneering with the help of some very talented individuals to bring you Webinars and Online Training courses which will premiere through out 2014. Make sure to check out the first Webinar series of the year in January, with Accurate Title Company. After their event the past summer we kept hearing that the members want more. ATC has graciously agreed to do this amazing 3 part webinar series and a Saturday event to get MAREI Mem- bers more of what they want. Make sure to keep an eye out this December for more information.
  • 8. 8 RE investment News 2013 MAREI Gift Membership With the Holiday season approaching we here at MAREI decided to offer a whole new form of Gift for you to give this holiday season. We have all experienced receiving the toaster we don't need on Christmas morning or the ugly sweater we just can t bring ourselves to through away. We took this thought of those awful gifts and created MAREI’s ‘Red Rider BB Rifle’ This year we announce the MAREI Gift Membership.

  • 9. 2013 RE investment News 9 Meetings Professional Housing Provider Professional Housing Provider or PHP Certification is a National Designation and Certification from the National Association of Real Estate Investors. Earn Your PHP Certification with MAREI Earn instant credibility and show those you are working with that you are a professional investor committed to the highest standard of excellence. All MAREI educational seminars have been approved for stu- dents to earn credits towards obtaining the nationally ac- claimed Professional Housing Provider Certification offered by the National Real Estate Investors Association (National REIA). Details To earn the PHP Certification, you must complete a minimum of 60 credit hours of education: 42 hours in required core subject areas, and 18 additional hours in the subject areas of your choice. MAREIoffers all the seminars needed to com- plete this certification program on a two year cycle. What is the PHP Designation? The PHP designation is a national education-based certifica- tion program designed to recognize the high level of knowledge and professionalism among the designation hold- ers. It is sponsored and overseen by the National Real Estate Investors Association, a non-profit trade association serving the real estate industry. Why Obtain the PHP Designation? Only individuals completing the educational requirements will be permitted to hold themselves out to the public as a “Professional Housing Provider”. The designee will be recog- nized in the form of an award certificate, pin, and the right to use the designation. By having a standardized education in the topics outlined increase your ability to achieve your goals in real estate investing. Further, as National REIA works to increase the visibility of the PHP designation, individuals who have earned the certifi- cation are held to a higher standard of credibility when deal- ing with legal and governmental bodies. It aids legislators in perceiving educated investors as a larger group for political action, and in turn, provides our industry with greater legisla- tive influence. How Will I Obtain These Hours? Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors offers course in all the areas needed to complete this certification. When attending a MAREI PHP certified training event, at- tendees must arrive within 5 minutes of the start time to be issued a PHP Certificate and sign up on the final registration sheet at the end of the monthly meeting when they turn in their name tag. Attendance will also be tracked on other qualifying training events. Attendees are responsible for keeping track of PHP certifi- cates and will not be replaced. Attendees are also responsi- ble for tracking progress towards completion of their PHP designation. A tracking folder is available for download and at meetings. Once all courses have been completed, submit your PHP certificates to the PHP committee for verification of award. Please visit the MAREI website or review your Membership Package for more information about PHP. In addition, courses completed at MAREI can be combined with PHP certified courses offered by other National REIA- associated organizations and conferences. It is possible that seminars and training events offered by other groups may qualify for PHP credit; however, all outside training events must meet the following requirements: 1. They must be taught live 2. The must be pre-approved by the MAREI PHP Commit- tee 3. They must provide a Certificate of Attendance acceptable to the MAREI PHP committee. We are also working on a few online resources through Na- tional REIA.

The business membership includes all the access to our website and all the dis- counts that our Standard Investor Membership. However, unlike the Investor Membership that is for the person, the Business Membership follows the Business. So as a Business you receive two guest passes to every monthly meeting (20+ meetings a year) that can be used by the same two people or interchanged among several people each month. Advertise in our Newsletter Also included in a Business Membership is an advertisement in our monthly news- letter, the Investment News. This is published once a month and posted on our website, our social media pages, several online file sharing sites and emailed out to our 5000+ database. We highly recommend submitting educational articles for the newsletter for maximum exposure. Advertise on our Website Our website has a Service Provider Section that provides you with a home on our website where you can create a full page advertisement of your choosing and link it to your website. Some examples of ad pages might include: a photograph, two or three short paragraphs, an embedded video, contact information and a sign up page for your product or service. We can make it as elaborate or as simple as you would like. Also submit educational articles and videos for our blog. Host a Vendor Table While you can do all the advertising in the world in our Newsletter and on our Website, meeting members face to face at our monthly meetings allows you to get face to face with the members, build rapport and explain your product or service in person. To help you facilitate the face to face interaction, we have Vendor Tables available for a fee from 6:00 to 7:00 before each meeting. These can be reserved for $25 for one night or $50 for 3 different nights. A Business Membership in- cludes 3 free annually. Available on a first-come first-served basis.
