Director’s Notes

     I want to take this space to thank each and              I have also seen quite a few other eco-
      everyone of you for your support of MAREI              nomic indicators here in our metro that
        over the past few years. We launched in           things are improving. The biggest indica-
     January 2004 and have had a very success-                  tor so far is that we are seeing an in-
                                     ful 6 years.             crease in old members coming back as
                                                            they are getting back into real estate in-
         The past 3 years have been very rocky for
                                                             vesting after taking a few years off and
         MAREI and all the members with all of the
                                                           we are seeing new investors coming into
          problems in the housing industry and the
                                                         the market and to meetings. The next big
                                         economy.
                                                           indicator that I take notice of is the Kan-
       I personally feel that we are on the road to      sas City Star. You may have watched this
      recovery over all and urge each and every-                get smaller and smaller from 2008 to
     one of you to take advantage, to the best of         2010. Over the past 6 months I have no-
            your abilities of the record low housing       ticed that it has been getting a bit bigger
          prices, the record low interest rates, and     every month. Just this week they added a
      the incredible opportunities that we have in       brand new section. That means they have
           real estate today and probably for a few            more advertising coming in to support
                         more years into the future.                         more pages and sections.
      What I have seen over the past year is that             So here is to a very bright outlook on
        while housing prices are low, that here in        2012. We encourage you to get involved
       Kansas City first time home buyer houses,             and to take educated steps to start or
     the bread and butter of most investors have          grow your real estate investing business.
          fairly well held their own as far as price       Also remember that there are many dif-
         goes. There are areas of our metro that           ferent ways to invest in real estate both
         saw HUGE price drops including the very           active and passive and we hope to help
        low end and the very high end, but those                                 you find your way.

          Above is the top of the Classified Section. We do have some weird things as categories as
          our website provider is for all kinds of membership associations and clubs. We will primarily be
          utilizing only the Real Estate Button.

              If you click on the Real Estate Button, you will see all the classifieds that are posted.

              To post a classified, you would click on the Post Classifieds Button

              To see all classifieds that you have already posted. So say for example you
               posted something and want to change a price or renew an expired classified, you
               would find them here so you can go in and edit.




          Note in the top right of many of the screens you see a Member Credit’s balance. These are
          credit you earn for bringing in a new member or offering volunteer service at MAREI.
