    Speaker: Ken Collins

    Ken's journey began in the field of social work and psychotherapy, where he dedicated a decade to helping others navigate their personal challenges. Seeking new horizons, he transitioned into the tech industry, joining Hewlett-Packard. Over the next 24 years, he evolved from a Computer Engineer to a Global Project Manager, culminating in his leadership of the Global Sales Lead program, which under his stewardship generated nearly $1 billion in sales each year.

     

    In 2016, Ken pivoted to real estate investing, initially employing the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) method. Upon retiring from corporate life, he focused on creative deal structuring, mastering techniques like Subject-To (Sub2), Lease/Options, and Land Trusts. His portfolio includes over 50 Real Estate  transactions in the last 8 years, ranging from mobile homes, single family and  multifamily properties, showcasing his versatility and expertise in the real estate market.

     

    Ken credits much of his real estate knowledge and sharpened skills to his active participation in the many WiscoREIA Madison education programs. Through joining their Coaching Program, completing the Blueprint course, and engaging in numerous educational opportunities including hands-on property tours and weekend training events from a variety of speakers sponsored by the REIA, Ken has continuously expanded his expertise in real estate.

     

    Ken is renowned for his proficiency in lead generation and deal negotiation, leveraging a multitude of creative strategies to craft win-win scenarios in real estate. He now steps into his role as a coach for aspiring real estate investors, eager to share his knowledge and experience. He is always on the lookout for personal growth opportunities, being an active member of groups like Lifeonaire and the Generations of Wealth Mastermind group, which further fuel his passion for continuous learning and development.

    WiscoREIA’s Racine-Kenosha Meeting Always Meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the Month from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm!

    Hosts: Ray Thorsen & Ken Collins

    Ray began his interest in real estate investing in 1999. His parents let him continue to live at home for free after he finished school, as long as he was saving his money. This allowed him to buy his first duplex, which he renovated, put tenants in, refinanced and bought another duplex. Today, that is called the “BRRRR” method. He continued to “House Hack” and “BRRRR” numerous times which led to experience in flipping houses, private lending, as well as, creative finance deals. 


    He always loves talking about real estate sharing what he has learned to do and what not to do. He also enjoys making business connections and learning from others’ trials and triumphs.

    Outside of real estate, he loves spending time with his family. He is an aspiring wood worker, welder, and tinkerer. He likes to play golf, ride motorcycles, and go for cruises in the convertible with his kid.

    My Journey to Resort Ownership

    Click here to pre-register!



    Ever dreamed of owning a lakefront resort? ⛰️

    Join Amanda as she takes you on her real-life journey of finding, evaluating, and purchasing a four-season family fishing resort. From narrowing down the perfect property and running the numbers to securing financing and sealing the deal—she’s sharing it all.



    You’ll get the inside scoop on:
    ✅ What to look for (and what to avoid)
    ✅ How to analyze the opportunity like an investor
    ✅ The unexpected twists that came with buying a business
    ✅ Lessons learned from the front lines of resort ownership



    Whether you’re considering lakefront real estate, dreaming of business ownership, or just love a good success story, this session promises a fun, insightful, and refreshingly honest look at what it really takes—with a few fish tales thrown in for good measure.



    Speaker: Amanda Wilson

    Amanda Wilson is an alumna of the UW–Madison School of Business and the James A. Graaskamp Real Estate Program. She is an active member of the Wisconsin Real Estate Alumni Association (WREAA), WiscoREIA, and the founder of the Hayward Lakes REIA.

    Since 2012, Amanda has owned and operated Deerfoot Lodge & Resort, a four-season family fishing resort on the Chippewa Flowage, Wisconsin's largest wilderness lake in Hayward, Wisconsin - an entrepreneurial endeavor that continues a cherished family vacation tradition and also launched her real estate investing journey. Over the years, she has expanded her portfolio to include storage, commercial, and residential rental properties, all driven by a mission to make the Hayward Lakes area an even better place to live, work, and play for generations to come.

    When she’s not chasing real estate deals, you’ll likely find Amanda chasing muskies in her Lund Pro-V, either on the Chippewa Flowage or waters across the country.

    WiscoREIA’s Appleton Meeting Always Meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the Month from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm!



    Hosts: Jason Lund & Geoff Possley

    Meet Jason, a dynamic real estate visionary and dedicated coach committed to inspiring others to achieve greatness in the real estate arena. As a pivotal partner at WiscoREIA and the innovative founder of 920 Home Buyers, 920 Property Management and The Real Estate Misfits, Jason has emerged as a transformative leader in Northeast Wisconsin's real estate community.

    Since embarking on his real estate journey in 2010, Jason has expertly revitalized over 1,000 homes through strategic landlording, flipping, and wholesaling, demonstrating his exceptional skill in property investment. His impressive portfolio of over 200 rental properties is a testament to his adept strategy in buying, renovating, and maximizing the potential of single-family homes.

    Through his dynamic Coaching and Mentoring Group, Jason imparts invaluable wisdom to both aspiring and seasoned investors, guiding them in scaling their real estate ventures while mastering life's broader challenges. Whether enhancing a property portfolio or navigating the complexities of life, Jason empowers his clients with the tools and confidence to thrive.


    Geoff is a part time buy and hold investor with investments in the Fox Valley and Sheboygan area. He is a full-time aircraft certification engineer for Gulfstream Aerospace in Appleton where he lives with his wife Laura and four children Carter, Madeline, Rowen and Brielle.


    Geoff got started in real estate in 2005, with very little REI knowledge, when he purchased a single-family home with the plan to do a live-in flip over the next few years. After the bubble burst in 2008 his focus shifted from turning a profit to simply breaking even. This led Geoff to step away from real estate for a number of years until he discovered WiscoREIA in 2018 where he finally was able to acquire the knowledge and network that was necessary to be successful in real estate investing.  His goal is to use REI as a means to retire early from engineering.


    Geoff currently invests in single-family and small multi-family properties that he operates as traditional rentals as well as short term furnished rentals. In his free time Geoff enjoys camping with his family, playing golf, snowboarding, hunting, and good beer.

    WiscoREIA’s Hudson Meeting Always Meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month from

    6:30 pm - 8:30 pm!

    Hosts: Alyssa Burton & Rebekah Chamberlain

    Alyssa is an investor and agent operating in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Indiana. Founder of Inspired Investments, Inspired Realty, and Inspired Property Management LLC her businesses support her momentum in growing her real estate portfolio. Alyssa's favorite thing about real estate is that there are so many strategies and types of investments to get into. Since 2020, she has built a diverse portfolio of 70 units (give or take revolving flip projects) across various states—including single-family homes, multifamily, small apartments, Airbnb rentals and on the nonresidential front—self-storage and land.

    She is dedicated to the belief that Real Estate can be used as a powerful tool to create positive change, and her greatest satisfaction is using what she has built to help do the most amount of good. Alyssa is always looking to grow and learn more and enjoys bringing like-minded individuals together.

    On a personal note, Alyssa is a special needs mother and her children play a major role in what motivates and drives her, along with her faith and dedication to living out her calling and purpose. When she is not engaging in real estate-related activities you can find her chasing around her kids, volunteering, operating and collaborating with nonprofits, and advocating for the Down Syndrome community.


    Always an entrepreneur, Rebekah spent the first decade of her career starting and building an organic dairy farm from the ground up.  The business went from $0 to just shy of $1M in gross revenue over that decade.


    7 years ago, Rebekah pivoted her efforts into Real Estate.  Passionate about building a life and business that fit around her children instead of her business running her- she is grateful to only have created that balance for herself, but to also get to help others do the same.  Rebekah has specialized in working with investors and commercial transactions and is using that experience helping others to begin building her portfolio.


    On a personal note, Rebekah is a busy mom to four beautiful children. Leading by example and leaving a legacy for her children is the “why” that inspires her to be better every day. You can find Rebekah enjoying time with her family, running, hiking, biking, soaking in the outdoors, reading, cooking or baking when she’s not busy with work.

    WiscoREIA’s Sheboygan Meeting Always Meets on the 4th Wednesday of the Month from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm!


    Speakers and Hosts: Geoff Possley and Ryan Cotic

    Geoff is a part time buy and hold investor with investments in the Fox Valley and Sheboygan area. He is a full-time aircraft certification engineer for Gulfstream Aerospace in Appleton where he lives with his wife Laura and four children Carter, Madeline, Rowen and Brielle.


    Geoff got started in real estate in 2005, with very little REI knowledge, when he purchased a single-family home with the plan to do a live-in flip over the next few years. After the bubble burst in 2008 his focus shifted from turning a profit to simply breaking even. This led Geoff to step away from real estate for a number of years until he discovered WiscoREIA in 2018 where he finally was able to acquire the knowledge and network that was necessary to be successful in real estate investing.  His goal is to use REI as a means to retire early from engineering.


    Geoff currently invests in single-family and small multi-family properties that he operates as traditional rentals as well as short term furnished rentals. In his free time Geoff enjoys camping with his family, playing golf, snowboarding, hunting, and good beer.


    I am Ryan Cotic. I grew up in the Milwaukee area in Southeast Wisconsin and have always had an entrepreneurial mindset including when I was a young child and can remember selling New Kids on the Block pins to my classmates in elementary school. My journey took me to the University of Wisconsin Madison where I studied History and Economics. This gave me an excellent background to be prepared to work with all types of people in this world. I achieved a greater understanding of how large our world is and the dedication to hard work and knowledge my peers had as well. I bought my first several duplexes while in college and was forced to quickly learn how to manage the properties effectively.  In the summers I started doing landscape work for several local companies where I gained a passion for making peoples yards and properties look beautiful. With this knowledge and passion, I started Great Lakes landscape in the spring of 2009 with one truck and a lawn mower working 14 hours days 6 days per week. Presently we have approximately 40 employees and contractors working with us and more than 3600 customers in Southeastern Wisconsin. Great Lakes Landscape is one of the largest snow and ice management companies in Southeastern Wisconsin where we service both residential and Commercial properties. In addition to owning the landscape company I have also grown a substantial real estate business that currently includes approximately 20 properties which consist of single family, industrial and small multi-family buildings. I am looking to continue to grow this portfolio organically over time while looking to scale into larger buildings if the opportunity presents itself. I have the same Passion for Real Estate as I have for landscape and there are many synergies between the two companies. In my free time I enjoy speaking events to teach others, boating, golfing and networking to learn from others in several real estate and landscape organizations. I currently live with my beautiful wife Carolina and our 2-year-old son Ryan Jr in Menomonee Falls. We enjoy spending time outside and relaxing at home on our back deck while grilling.

    • The numbers behind the purchase
    • Renovation decisions (what we fixed… and what we didn’t)
    • Lessons learned from the project
    • What the investor plans to do next — flip, rent, refinance


      Whether you’re brand new or have a few deals under your belt, this is a chance to ask questions in real time, see the property up close, and network with local investors in the field.


      Bring your notepad and your curiosity — this is where learning gets real.


      WiscoREIA’s Green Bay Meeting Always Meets on the 1st Tuesday of the Month from

      Speaker and Hosts: Joe Gracyalny & Jennifer "Jennie" Buah

       Joe is a real estate investor based in Northeast Wisconsin and specializes in multifamily and self-storage properties and began his real estate journey in 2018.

      He became a WiscoREIA member in 2019 and then his role as the host of WiscoREIA Green Bay in 2021. WiscoREIA has been instrumental in fostering key partnerships and business relationships, and Joe credits the community with providing both a platform to give back and an opportunity to learn from fellow investors. Hosting the Green Bay chapter has been a rewarding experience that he genuinely enjoys.

      I kicked off my real estate career as an investor in 2012 with a spontaneous decision to rent out my Madison condo.  I became a property manager within 24 hours of posting... with a lease from the internet and sheer luck.  

      I found REIAs later in my career and am thrilled to be one of the WiscoREIA hosts in my hometown, Green Bay.  I was also on the board of the Fox Valley Apartment Association in 2023/2024.  

      As an investor, I focus on flipping/renting single families in the Fox Valley. I am also an investor-friendly real estate agent and own Fox Valley Staging and Design - a property design business that specializes in remodels, listing preparation, short term furnishing, and interior design.

      4. Flexible Loan Provision: One page loan application, no reason for loan, no credit check, you determine loan repayments.
      5. Privacy: Does anything else need to be said?

      7. Income Tax-Free Transfer of Wealth: Do you want the IRS as a partner…or NO?

      You stop paying interest... and start earning it.

      Take control. Win your financial freedom.


      Speaker: Wealth Strategist Brian Fleming

      Brian Fleming has devoted his life to helping others, with a deep passion for service and protection. With 25 years of experience as a police officer, he faced the realities of victimization and took pride in safeguarding people and their property. This experience instilled in him a strong sense of responsibility and justice, which he now applies to the financial sector. Recognizing the complexities and risks in managing finances, Brian has become an educator, focusing on teaching financial truth. His goal is to protect people’s hard-earned money and assets, guiding them to make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary risks. 

      When he stumbled upon the Infinite Banking Concept, while running his own REIA, he used the investigative skills he obtained as a police officer to find out more, and he knew this would be a perfect fit for what he wanted to do in “retirement”, and became an insurance agent while still a police officer to pursue that. He has used IBC to fund college, finance cars, rehab rentals, and buy a rental property. He emphasizes the importance of financial clarity, certainty, and security, aiming to help others build and preserve their wealth for a stable future. As a police officer, fellow officers are those he enjoys working with.

      Beyond his professional work, he has been investing in real estate for over 30 years and loves working with real estate investors, he served as the Chair Ambassador of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce, promoting local businesses, and is an active member of the Hartford Lions Club, where he participates in charitable initiatives. He also supports his fellow officers through his involvement with the local Fraternal Order of Police lodge and he and his wife Barb enjoy having fun together.

      In 2016, Ken pivoted to real estate investing, initially employing the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) method. Upon retiring from corporate life, he focused on creative deal structuring, mastering techniques like Subject-To (Sub2), Lease/Options, and Land Trusts. His portfolio includes over 50 Real Estate  transactions in the last 8 years, ranging from mobile homes, single family and  multifamily properties, showcasing his versatility and expertise in the real estate market.

       

      Ken credits much of his real estate knowledge and sharpened skills to his active participation in the many WiscoREIA Madison education programs. Through joining their Coaching Program, completing the Blueprint course, and engaging in numerous educational opportunities including hands-on property tours and weekend training events from a variety of speakers sponsored by the REIA, Ken has continuously expanded his expertise in real estate.

      WiscoREIA’s Racine-Kenosha Meeting Always Meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the Month from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm!

      Host: Ray Thorsen & Ken Collins

      Ray began his interest in real estate investing in 1999. His parents let him continue to live at home for free after he finished school, as long as he was saving his money. This allowed him to buy his first duplex, which he renovated, put tenants in, refinanced and bought another duplex. Today, that is called the “BRRRR” method. He continued to “House Hack” and “BRRRR” numerous times which led to experience in flipping houses, private lending, as well as, creative finance deals. 

      He always loves talking about real estate sharing what he has learned to do and what not to do. He also enjoys making business connections and learning from others’ trials and triumphs.

      Outside of real estate, he loves spending time with his family. He is an aspiring wood worker, welder, and tinkerer. He likes to play golf, ride motorcycles, and go for cruises in the convertible with his kid. 

      Ken's journey began in the field of social work and psychotherapy, where he dedicated a decade to helping others navigate their personal challenges. Seeking new horizons, he transitioned into the tech industry, joining Hewlett-Packard. Over the next 24 years, he evolved from a Computer Engineer to a Global Project Manager, culminating in his leadership of the Global Sales Lead program, which under his stewardship generated nearly $1 billion in sales each year.

       

      In 2016, Ken pivoted to real estate investing, initially employing the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) method. Upon retiring from corporate life, he focused on creative deal structuring, mastering techniques like Subject-To (Sub2), Lease/Options, and Land Trusts. His portfolio includes over 50 Real Estate  transactions in the last 8 years, ranging from mobile homes, single family and  multifamily properties, showcasing his versatility and expertise in the real estate market.

       

      Ken credits much of his real estate knowledge and sharpened skills to his active participation in the many WiscoREIA Madison education programs. Through joining their Coaching Program, completing the Blueprint course, and engaging in numerous educational opportunities including hands-on property tours and weekend training events from a variety of speakers sponsored by the REIA, Ken has continuously expanded his expertise in real estate.

       

      Ken is renowned for his proficiency in lead generation and deal negotiation, leveraging a multitude of creative strategies to craft win-win scenarios in real estate. He now steps into his role as a coach for aspiring real estate investors, eager to share his knowledge and experience. He is always on the lookout for personal growth opportunities, being an active member of groups like Lifeonaire and the Generations of Wealth Mastermind group, which further fuel his passion for continuous learning and development.

       

      With a life that beautifully blends family, community, technology, and real estate, Ken Collins is not just a coach but a mentor who understands the art of building wealth through real estate while maintaining a life of balance and fulfillment.

      Join us for a no-fluff, experience-driven session with Norm Kopesky, a seasoned investor, educator, and passionate advocate for common-sense landlord-tenant laws.

      With 15+ years in the long-term rental game—including single-family homes, multi-family units, commercial spaces, and even motels—Norm has seen it all. As the former President and current VP of the Fox Valley Apartment Association (FVAA) and a leader within AANW, he’s not just a landlord—he’s a voice for the rental community at both judicial and legislative levels.


      In this session, Norm will break down:
      ✅ The legal essentials every landlord should know
      ✅ How to protect yourself and your properties
      ✅ Best practices for tenant screening, leases, and compliance
      ✅ Tips for growing a resilient and profitable rental portfolio


      Norm also co-hosts the Real Estate & Cigars Meetup at his Appleton lounge, Appleton Cigar Co., where business, life, and cigars blend seamlessly. Outside of real estate, he and his wife Heather (married 26 years!) juggle four kids, multiple businesses, and deep roots in Wisconsin’s volunteer community.

      If you're in real estate—or thinking about it—this is a must-attend.

      Build wealth for the long haul. Protect it with smart legal moves.


      Speaker: Norm Kopesky

      Married for 26 years, 4 children 23-16, small business owner since 1997, started in real estate in 2010. Full time husband, father and friend, I squeak business in on the edges. Went full time real estate in 2019, grew our portfolio to 178 units, trying different differing strategies, sfh, small multifamily, mixed use, commercial and motels. Norm served as the President of the Fox Valley Apartment Association for 3 years, now the VP of FVAA & AANW we reach the long term rental business and are heavily involved judicially, and legislatively for common sense LL Tenant law.


      I love sharing the lessons learned over the years; life, business and real estate. What steps we have taken to shift our strategies in marriage, parenting, business and real estate. How coaching has improved our lives and business', that setting a vision for your life, and building a peer group that drives you towards becoming the person you need to become to reach your goals is paramount.


      Mindset, professionalism, understanding yourself and your business are some of my favorite topics.

      WiscoREIA’s Appleton Meeting Always Meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the Month from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm!


      Hosts: Jason Lund & Geoff Possley

      Jason is a visionary real estate entrepreneur and dedicated coach with a passion for empowering others to succeed in the real estate space. As a partner at WiscoREIA and the founder of 920 Home Buyers and 920 Property Management, Jason has cemented his reputation as a leading figure in Northeast Wisconsin's real estate community.

      Since launching his career in 2010, he has transformed over 1,000+ homes through Landlording, flipping and wholesaling, showcasing his expertise in property investment. With a thriving portfolio of 200+ rental properties, Jason stands out for his strategic approach to buying, fixing, and flipping single-family homes. Through his Coaching and Mentoring Group, he provides invaluable guidance to both budding and seasoned investors on scaling their real estate ventures and mastering life's challenges.


       

      Geoff is a part time buy and hold investor with investments in the Fox Valley and Sheboygan area. He is a full-time aircraft certification engineer for Gulfstream Aerospace in Appleton where he lives with his wife Laura and four children Carter, Madeline, Rowen and Brielle.


      Geoff got started in real estate in 2005, with very little REI knowledge, when he purchased a single-family home with the plan to do a live-in flip over the next few years. After the bubble burst in 2008 his focus shifted from turning a profit to simply breaking even. This led Geoff to step away from real estate for a number of years until he discovered WiscoREIA in 2018 where he finally was able to acquire the knowledge and network that was necessary to be successful in real estate investing.  His goal is to use REI as a means to retire early from engineering.

      Geoff currently invests in single-family and small multi-family properties that he operates as traditional rentals as well as short term furnished rentals. In his free time Geoff enjoys camping with his family, playing golf, snowboarding, hunting, and good beer.

      Ever dreamed of breaking free from the 9–5 grind?


      Andrew Engel did more than dream—he took the leap. From a secure tech career to the fast-paced world of full-time real estate investing, Andrew traded comfort for opportunity, all while raising a young family.


      In this powerful session, he shares the real, unfiltered story behind his leap—what it took, what he learned, and how you can do it too. If you’re ready to stop waiting for “someday,” this is your moment.



      Speaker: Andrew Engel

      Andrew Engel is a real estate investor and founder of Fresh Picked Leads; a lead generation company designed to collect and distribute the freshest motivated seller lists in Wisconsin. Andrew’s professional background is in software engineering and project management, but he left his W2 job in February 2023 to pursue his businesses full time.

      WiscoREIA’s Hudson Meeting Always Meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month from

      6:30 pm - 8:30 pm!



      Hosts: Alyssa Burton & Rebekah Chamberlain

      Alyssa is an investor and agent operating in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Indiana. Founder of Inspired Investments, Inspired Realty, and Inspired Property Management LLC her businesses support her momentum in growing her real estate portfolio. Alyssa's favorite thing about real estate is that there are so many strategies and types of investments to get into. Since 2020, she has built a diverse portfolio of 70 units (give or take revolving flip projects) across various states—including single-family homes, multifamily, small apartments, Airbnb rentals and on the nonresidential front—self-storage and land.

      She is dedicated to the belief that Real Estate can be used as a powerful tool to create positive change, and her greatest satisfaction is using what she has built to help do the most amount of good. Alyssa is always looking to grow and learn more and enjoys bringing like-minded individuals together.

      On a personal note, Alyssa is a special needs mother and her children play a major role in what motivates and drives her, along with her faith and dedication to living out her calling and purpose. When she is not engaging in real estate-related activities you can find her chasing around her kids, volunteering, operating and collaborating with nonprofits, and advocating for the Down Syndrome community.


      Always an entrepreneur, Rebekah spent the first decade of her career starting and building an organic dairy farm from the ground up.  The business went from $0 to just shy of $1M in gross revenue over that decade.


      7 years ago, Rebekah pivoted her efforts into Real Estate.  Passionate about building a life and business that fit around her children instead of her business running her- she is grateful to only have created that balance for herself, but to also get to help others do the same.  Rebekah has specialized in working with investors and commercial transactions and is using that experience helping others to begin building her portfolio.

      On a personal note, Rebekah is a busy mom to four beautiful children. Leading by example and leaving a legacy for her children is the “why” that inspires her to be better every day. You can find Rebekah enjoying time with her family, running, hiking, biking, soaking in the outdoors, reading, cooking or baking when she’s not busy with work.

      WiscoREIA’s Sheboygan Meeting Always Meets on the 4th Wednesday of the Month from

      6:30 pm to 9:00 pm!


      Host: Ryan Cotic

      I am Ryan Cotic. I grew up in the Milwaukee area in Southeast Wisconsin and have always had an entrepreneurial mindset including when I was a young child and can remember selling New Kids on the Block pins to my classmates in elementary school. My journey took me to the University of Wisconsin Madison where I studied History and Economics. This gave me an excellent background to be prepared to work with all types of people in this world. I achieved a greater understanding of how large our world is and the dedication to hard work and knowledge my peers had as well. I bought my first several duplexes while in college and was forced to quickly learn how to manage the properties effectively.  In the summers I started doing landscape work for several local companies where I gained a passion for making peoples yards and properties look beautiful. With this knowledge and passion, I started Great Lakes landscape in the spring of 2009 with one truck and a lawn mower working 14 hours days 6 days per week. Presently we have approximately 40 employees and contractors working with us and more than 3600 customers in Southeastern Wisconsin. Great Lakes Landscape is one of the largest snow and ice management companies in Southeastern Wisconsin where we service both residential and Commercial properties. In addition to owning the landscape company I have also grown a substantial real estate business that currently includes approximately 20 properties which consist of single family, industrial and small multi-family buildings. I am looking to continue to grow this portfolio organically over time while looking to scale into larger buildings if the opportunity presents itself. I have the same Passion for Real Estate as I have for landscape and there are many synergies between the two companies. In my free time I enjoy speaking events to teach others, boating, golfing and networking to learn from others in several real estate and landscape organizations. I currently live with my beautiful wife Carolina and our 2-year-old son Ryan Jr in Menomonee Falls. We enjoy spending time outside and relaxing at home on our back deck while grilling.

      Hosts: Chris Hake & Ken Collins


      Ken's journey began in the field of social work and psychotherapy, where he dedicated a decade to helping others navigate their personal challenges. Seeking new horizons, he transitioned into the tech industry, joining Hewlett-Packard. Over the next 24 years, he evolved from a Computer Engineer to a Global Project Manager, culminating in his leadership of the Global Sales Lead program, which under his stewardship generated nearly $1 billion in sales each year.

Upon retiring from corporate life, he focused on creative deal structuring, mastering techniques like Subject-To (Sub2), Lease/Options, and Land Trusts. His portfolio includes over 50 Real Estate  transactions in the last 8 years, ranging from mobile homes, single family and  multifamily properties, showcasing his versatility and expertise in the real estate market.

       

      Ken credits much of his real estate knowledge and sharpened skills to his active participation in the many WiscoREIA Madison education programs. Through joining their Coaching Program, completing the Blueprint course, and engaging in numerous educational opportunities including hands-on property tours and weekend training events from a variety of speakers sponsored by the REIA, Ken has continuously expanded his expertise in real estate.

       

      Ken is renowned for his proficiency in lead generation and deal negotiation, leveraging a multitude of creative strategies to craft win-win scenarios in real estate. He now steps into his role as a coach for aspiring real estate investors, eager to share his knowledge and experience. He is always on the lookout for personal growth opportunities, being an active member of groups like Lifeonaire and the Generations of Wealth Mastermind group, which further fuel his passion for continuous learning and development.

      WiscoREIA’s Hudson Meeting Always Meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month from

      6:30 pm - 8:30 pm!


      Hosts: Alyssa Burton & Rebekah Chamberlain

      Alyssa is an investor and agent operating in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Indiana. Founder of Inspired Investments, Inspired Realty, and Inspired Property Management LLC her businesses support her momentum in growing her real estate portfolio. Alyssa's favorite thing about real estate is that there are so many strategies and types of investments to get into. Since 2020, she has built a diverse portfolio of 70 units (give or take revolving flip projects) across various states—including single-family homes, multifamily, small apartments, Airbnb rentals and on the nonresidential front—self-storage and land.

      She is dedicated to the belief that Real Estate can be used as a powerful tool to create positive change, and her greatest satisfaction is using what she has built to help do the most amount of good. Alyssa is always looking to grow and learn more and enjoys bringing like-minded individuals together.

      On a personal note, Alyssa is a special needs mother and her children play a major role in what motivates and drives her, along with her faith and dedication to living out her calling and purpose. When she is not engaging in real estate-related activities you can find her chasing around her kids, volunteering, operating and collaborating with nonprofits, and advocating for the Down Syndrome community.



      Always an entrepreneur, Rebekah spent the first decade of her career starting and building an organic dairy farm from the ground up.  The business went from $0 to just shy of $1M in gross revenue over that decade.


      7 years ago, Rebekah pivoted her efforts into Real Estate.  Passionate about building a life and business that fit around her children instead of her business running her- she is grateful to only have created that balance for herself, but to also get to help others do the same.  Rebekah has specialized in working with investors and commercial transactions and is using that experience helping others to begin building her portfolio.


      On a personal note, Rebekah is a busy mom to four beautiful children. Leading by example and leaving a legacy for her children is the “why” that inspires her to be better every day. You can find Rebekah enjoying time with her family, running, hiking, biking, soaking in the outdoors, reading, cooking or baking when she’s not busy with work.

      I kicked off my real estate career as an investor in 2012 with a spontaneous decision to rent out my Madison condo.  I became a property manager within 24 hours of posting... with a lease from the internet and sheer luck.  

      I found REIAs later in my career and am thrilled to be one of the WiscoREIA hosts in my hometown, Green Bay.  I was also on the board of the Fox Valley Apartment Association in 2023/2024.  

      As an investor, I focus on flipping/renting single families in the Fox Valley. I am also an investor-friendly real estate agent and own Fox Valley Staging and Design - a property design business that specializes in remodels, listing preparation, short term furnishing, and interior design.  

      I'm a proud Green Bay native now living in Appleton with my two adventurous boys, Damian and Bryce.

      WiscoREIA's Madison Meeting Always Meets on the 2nd Monday of the month from 

      5:30 pm - 8:30 pm!



      Hosts: Chris Hake & Ken Collins

      Chris is the visionary and investor coach of the Master Investor Academy and Madison Real Estate Investors Association (REIA). Chris has decades of real estate investing experience and has seen (and smelled) more distressed properties than he cares to admit.  He now applies that knowledge in the mentoring and education of his Coaching students that are actively engaged in rehabbing, wholesaling, and holding of properties all over South Central Wisconsin.


      Chris has been a Madisonian for over 45 years and investing in the Madison real estate market for over 26 years. Since doing his first house hack in 1994, he has been involved with 100’s of house flips, 100’s of rentals, raised over 10 million dollars to fund those deals and had 1000’s of students come through his local training and coaching programs. Chris has a PhD & Master’s Degree in the school of hard knocks. 


      Between 2006-2010 Chris taught the Real Estate Investing course at Madison Area Technical College, which saw 100’s of students come through his classes. 

      Between speaking engagements and mentoring other investors, Chris oversees the daily operations of his investing business, Madison Property Group, that rehabs, wholesales and wholetails properties, and holds properties for his investment portfolio.


      In July 2012, Chris founded The Madison REIA and in July 2021 merged his REIA with WiscoREIA which has 7 REIA’s across Wisconsin, bringing the combined membership to over 650 with 8 locations! 

      Ken's journey began in the field of social work and psychotherapy, where he dedicated a decade to helping others navigate their personal challenges. Seeking new horizons, he transitioned into the tech industry, joining Hewlett-Packard. Over the next 24 years, he evolved from a Computer Engineer to a Global Project Manager, culminating in his leadership of the Global Sales Lead program, which under his stewardship generated nearly $1 billion in sales each year.

       

      In 2016, Ken pivoted to real estate investing, initially employing the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) method. Upon retiring from corporate life, he focused on creative deal structuring, mastering techniques like Subject-To (Sub2), Lease/Options, and Land Trusts. His portfolio includes over 50 Real Estate  transactions in the last 8 years, ranging from mobile homes, single family and  multifamily properties, showcasing his versatility and expertise in the real estate market.

       

      Ken credits much of his real estate knowledge and sharpened skills to his active participation in the many WiscoREIA Madison education programs. Through joining their Coaching Program, completing the Blueprint course, and engaging in numerous educational opportunities including hands-on property tours and weekend training events from a variety of speakers sponsored by the REIA, Ken has continuously expanded his expertise in real estate.

       

      Ken is renowned for his proficiency in lead generation and deal negotiation, leveraging a multitude of creative strategies to craft win-win scenarios in real estate. He now steps into his role as a coach for aspiring real estate investors, eager to share his knowledge and experience. He is always on the lookout for personal growth opportunities, being an active member of groups like Lifeonaire and the Generations of Wealth Mastermind group, which further fuel his passion for continuous learning and development.

       

      With a life that beautifully blends family, community, technology, and real estate, Ken Collins is not just a coach but a mentor who understands the art of building wealth through real estate while maintaining a life of balance and fulfillment.

      Mastering Tax Planning: Protect Your Wealth and Your Deals!

      Click here to pre-register!


      In 2024, we're seeing a surge in IRS liens and garnishments, making effective tax planning more crucial than ever. The IRS is ramping up collections, and it's essential to navigate these waters with confidence.


      Here’s what Amy will cover:

      1. Tax Planning, Not Paying: Focus on strategic tax planning to minimize your liabilities. 

      2. Ensuring Proper Tax Structures: Ensure you have the right entities in place. 

      3. Choose the Right Tax Preparers and Bookkeepers: Collaborate with experienced professionals who understand the intricacies of tax regulations. 

      4. Common Deductions People Miss: Don’t leave money on the table! 

      5. Dealing with Increased Collections: If you find yourself facing collection actions, know your rights.

      6. What to Do If You Get a Notice from the IRS: Don’t panic! 

      7. Handling IRS Liens and Garnishments: If an IRS lien or garnishment threatens your business deals, act quickly. 


      The key to thriving in today’s tax landscape is knowledge and preparedness. Equip yourself with the right resources, and don’t face the IRS alone.

      WiscoREIA’s Hudson Meeting Always Meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month from

      6:30 pm - 8:30 pm!

      Hosts: Alyssa Burton & Rebekah Chamberlain

      Alyssa is an investor and agent operating in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Indiana. Founder of Inspired Investments, Inspired Realty, and Inspired Property Management LLC her businesses support her momentum in growing her real estate portfolio. Alyssa's favorite thing about real estate is that there are so many strategies and types of investments to get into. Since 2020, she has built a diverse portfolio of 70 units (give or take revolving flip projects) across various states—including single-family homes, multifamily, small apartments, Airbnb rentals and on the nonresidential front—self-storage and land.

      She is dedicated to the belief that Real Estate can be used as a powerful tool to create positive change, and her greatest satisfaction is using what she has built to help do the most amount of good. Alyssa is always looking to grow and learn more and enjoys bringing like-minded individuals together.

      On a personal note, Alyssa is a special needs mother and her children play a major role in what motivates and drives her, along with her faith and dedication to living out her calling and purpose. When she is not engaging in real estate-related activities you can find her chasing around her kids, volunteering, operating and collaborating with nonprofits, and advocating for the Down Syndrome community.


      Always an entrepreneur, Rebekah spent the first decade of her career starting and building an organic dairy farm from the ground up.  The business went from $0 to just shy of $1M in gross revenue over that decade.


      7 years ago, Rebekah pivoted her efforts into Real Estate.  Passionate about building a life and business that fit around her children instead of her business running her- she is grateful to only have created that balance for herself, but to also get to help others do the same.  Rebekah has specialized in working with investors and commercial transactions and is using that experience helping others to begin building her portfolio.


      On a personal note, Rebekah is a busy mom to four beautiful children. Leading by example and leaving a legacy for her children is the “why” that inspires her to be better every day. You can find Rebekah enjoying time with her family, running, hiking, biking, soaking in the outdoors, reading, cooking or baking when she’s not busy with work.
