Our guest speaker this month will be Michael Driver.  Michael is a CPA in Topeka, Kansas and he will be sharing some thoughts on tax strategies for real estate investors as well as entreprenuers.  

This is an informal gathering for people like you interested in getting started in investing or already actively doing so.  Everyone is invited.  There is no fee to attend.  We have folks who invest in Lawrence and Topeka markets and many of the surrounding communities (Eudora, Tonganoxie, Leavenworth, McLouth, Baldwin, Ottawa and more).

It's only awkward the first time you visit.  Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.  I look forward to seeing you there.

This month will feature a fantastic guest speaker. Mr. Mark Davenport.  In 2015, he and his partner Phoebe decided to sell their house and begin investing in real estate. Since then, they’ve grown their portfolio from one duplex to 200 doors. They’ve gained experience with long term rentals, property renovations, managing various types of commercial spaces and short term rentals.  Phoebe and Mark relocated from Brooklyn, NY to Kansas City in the fall of 2019. They moved to the midwest in part to take advantage of the plentiful local opportunities to develop large commercial properties, and were thrilled to discover a small city in south-central Kansas called Hutchinson. Fast forward to 2022 and their portfolio in Hutch has swelled to include Plaza Towers (an iconic 12 story high rise residential/commercial tower), Leon Place, (a 6 story mid rise historic hotel that has been converted into apartments and commercial space) and the Hoke Hotel (a boutique hotel that is currently being developed).

Most recently, they’ve begun their work in Kansas City, completing the purchase of Blue Ridge Tower in summer 2022. This 10 story commercial office building in Jackson County is their first large commercial property in the Kansas City Metro, and they’re excited to be working in their own backyard!
