We will begin the meeting shortly after 6pm in our normal spot. Come early to chat with others, grab some refreshments and find your seat. 

This month we will be hearing from Attorney Spence Stover. He will give us an update on how evictions are going in Johnson County now that the moratoriums are completely lifted. He will review the correct process for uncollected rent payments or other reasons to start the eviction process. Spence would also like to share some new statutes in regards to victims of domestic violence. I've also asked him to address emotional support animals and any other related topics he thinks would be good. Since we are trying a new format for the meetings including more discussion opportunities we will have plenty of time for questions and networking. Last month we filled the house. Let's keep that momentum going. See you there!!

We'll also give Kim Tucker the floor for a few minutes. Kim and her husband, Don, started MAREI (Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors) in 2004. Since then they have grown the group to the largest Real Estate Association in Kansas City. The group focuses on all types of RE investing and offers many benefits to it's members. Kim will share ways that MAREI can benefit members of LJC and how to join. I promise this is something you need to know about.
