Building Connections and Gaining Insights in Kansas City
In this week’s blog, I am turning it over to Auben’s Director of Business Development for our Kansas City and Texas markets, Alli Malliton. She will be discussing her thoughts and insights on the Apartment Capital Advisors and Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors meetings that she attended last week!
This past Tuesday, I had the pleasure of attending both the ACA and MAREI meetings in Kansas City. It was a full day packed with valuable conversations, insightful takeaways, and incredible networking opportunities.
At ACA, I connected with a wide range of investors, vendors, and industry experts. It’s always energizing to be surrounded by professionals who are passionate about shaping the future of real estate—especially those who are eager to collaborate, share knowledge, and grow together. The conversations were not only informative but also inspiring, reminding me of just how many different paths and strategies exist within this dynamic industry.
The evening MAREI meeting was another highlight. The roundtable setup was both innovative and highly effective. Each table featured an expert in a specific facet of real estate investing, creating a dynamic environment where attendees could ask targeted questions, share their goals, and receive real-time guidance from seasoned professionals. Whether you were just starting your investing journey or looking to scale your portfolio, there was something to gain at every table.
What stood out most from the day was the quality of the networking. I made many new connections, each one opening doors to potential partnerships, shared resources, and business referrals. It was more than just a chance to exchange business cards—it was about building meaningful relationships with people who are aligned in values, goals, and vision.
As always, I left feeling grateful to be part of such a collaborative and forward-thinking community. I’m looking forward to staying in touch with the many new friends I met and seeing how we can support one another in the months to come.
