MREIC 2026 Speaker Spotlight: John Burley—Raise Capital for Your Next Deal Like a Pro

The first Speaker Spotlight for MREIC 2026 is live. We're kicking off with John Burley, real estate fund manager and capital raiser with 40+ years of investing experience and $600M+ raised.

In this conversation with Brian, John breaks down why real estate success becomes dramatically simpler when you stop chasing "magic deals" and learn how to raise capital in a proper, formal, compliant way—including the exact scripts, structure, and risk-control approach he teaches.

John will be speaking at Midwest Real Estate Investor Conference (MREIC 2026) on Monday, April 27, 2026, at 2:30 PM, at DeVos Place Convention Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Why "no money down" strategies don't scale the way people think they do

  • The mindset shift: real estate is a money business first

  • How experienced capital investors evaluate risk in today's market

  • Why safety + structure often beats flashy returns when raising capital

  • What it looks like to raise money and get paid on the way (placement-fee model examples)
