Bring Your Real Deals. Get Real Answers.

MAREI Office Hours are a chance to talk through real estate investing questions with experienced professionals in a relaxed, open discussion.

This week Michelle Winberry seasoned investor, leader of WinVestors and new Title Agent will host and will be joined Kristina Hartman from Prime Title to answer questions about title, escrow, and real estate closings.  Where are we with the 2026 FinCEN roller coaster?

The team will  answer questions on the new FinCEN reporting requirements that began March 1. After more than a month of these rules being in place, many investors are starting to see how they affect real transactions. If you have questions about how the reporting works or what to expect at closing, this is a great opportunity to ask.
