"How We Built Our Businesses" - An Investor Panel
This panel of investors come from a variety of investing backgrounds that may interest you:
- Buying mobile home parks
- Flipping houses
- Building a portfolio of apartments
The great thing about real estate is you can adjust, pivot, and find an investing product that works for you. Even within a specific product type, there are many ways to make it work.
Be ready to hear about their experiences, challenges faced, what their current focus is, and a open Q/A.
Panelists: Mike Higgins, Blaine Ott, Dustin Wiskes

Dustin Wiskes
I started investing in real estate in 2017 when my wife and I house-hacked a duplex in De Pere. We built up a small portfolio of rentals in the area before making the jump to mobile home park investing in 2021.
We now own four communities across Wisconsin (about 100 pads) and manage them all remotely from home. I still work full time as an engineer for a local paper company, while my wife raises our 3 young girls.
Our goal is to continue buying more MHPs until I can step back from my W2 job and focus full time on real estate and traveling as a family.

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.

He specializes in buying rentals with no money down and is always eager to learn new strategies to buy properties and help sellers in difficult situations.

Andy built his portfolio over the years while working a full time W2 job. In 2022, Andy “Retired” from the “9 to 5” to enjoy financial freedom and continue to grow his investment portfolio and businesses.

Audrey Borcherding
Our little crew has grown so much since we started in real estate back in 2008! We have grown our portfolio, our experience, and our family! It all started with the purchase of a 4 plex through a short sale, which we renovated while living in. Our goal was to purchase a property or two each year until ‘retirement’ age. Instead, we’ve purchased several hundred units valued at over $16 million dollars, started a full-service residential brokerage, flipped dozens of houses, started an education company, and had 3 beautiful children along the way.
There have been so many lessons learned on our journey! We put in long hours on renovations, property management, business management, and did ‘all the things’ on our own for many years. As we grew, we realized the best choice was to hire fantastic third-party management and create systems to give us more time. That time is used to focus on providing exceptional solutions for property owners who want to sell and investors who want to get involved in what we do. We are also excited to offer educational platforms targeted at helping people get started in multifamily investing and to uncover their visions for life and business!
We are passionate about continued growth personally, professionally, and for our students and clients! We look forward to connecting with you!
Mike Morawski
Topic: Using Multifamily Real Estate to Build Generational Wealth
Mike is a 30 plus year real estate investment veteran. He has controlled over $285,000,000 in real estate transactions. Mike is an entrepreneur, author, real estate trainer, public speaker, and personal coach, with strong personal resilience and a deep desire to help others live an extraordinary life. He has coached hundreds of real estate investors to fulfill their dreams.
Michael began as a general contractor in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago with $5 mm in annual revenue. He sold his company and then took some time off to decide what to do next. Michael entered the real estate industry as a sales agent building a team of agents and support staff that produced over $20 mm per year in sales production.
In 2005, Michael started a private equity firm, raising $18 mm in private equity and acquired $60 mm in multi-family apartments including 4,000 units in five different US markets. As part of the company’s growth, Mike built and developed a property management division that managed 7,500 units.
Mike has always believed that transparency and honesty are central to any successful business and personal life. As a result of the 2008 world economic crisis, Mike let his guard down and let his transparency slip. The impact that had on his company and its real estate holdings left him scrambling to protect the company and its investors.
This meeting will be at Metropolis Resort. Please enjoy food, drinks, and TIP YOUR SERVERS!
