    WiscoREIA’s Green Bay Meeting Always Meets on the 1st Tuesday of the Month from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm!


    Speaker: Jason Lund


    Jason is a real estate entrepreneur, coach, mentor and REIA partner. Jason is a partner at WiscoREIA, a real estate investor association, and an owner of 920 Home Buyers.

    Jason has also founded a Coaching and Mentoring Group to educate individuals and families on how to grow their real estate investing business and how to manage life's tasks. Jason began his real estate journey in 2010. Jason has also founded several other businesses including property management company.

    He has flipped and wholesaled 1000+ homes and has become a premier property investment firm in Northeast Wisconsin. He also owns 200+ rental properties. Buying, fixing and flipping single family properties has always been Jason's preferred investing strategy.


    Hosts: Mike Martell & Joe Gracyalny 


    Originally from Two Rivers, Mike and his wife Kathryn (from Brillion) have been married for over 30 years. They have three grown children all living in the upper Midwest. After 25 + years in the kitchen and bath industry working in sales and sales management for a couple of large companies, Mike retired to Door County with Kathryn in June of 2018.

    Mike and Kathryn’s interest in real estate began in 1986 with their first duplex, an upper/lower in Wauwatosa, purchased on a land contract. Over the years they moved all over the Midwest chasing the corporate dream but always looking, buying, and updating properties, focused on kitchen and bath remodels. They purchased flips, buy and holds, tried their hand at land development, historic renovations and buying bank owned properties. Today they are focused on vacation rentals and private money lending.


                                                   

    Joe is a real estate investor in the Green Bay/Fox Valley area. He has partnerships with other investors, as well as his own projects and views investing as a team activity. He specializes in self storage and multifamily projects.

    Joe has a passion for education and helping newer investors. He was a teacher and coach in Dubuque, IA before moving back to his Wisconsin roots. As a teacher, he added a few rentals in the Green Bay area, and recognized the opportunity in real estate. He took the leap and hasn’t looked back. WiscoREIA provides the opportunity for him to be able to scratch that educator itch, as well as learn from the many people in the room.

    Joe got his first project under contract in 2018 and has been growing ever since. Known primarily in the area as "Duplex Joe," he has ventured on from mostly multifamily projects, into the self storage space and buys deals across the United States.

    If you are new and want to get into rental property, Joe published many of the tools he used in small multifamily for investors for free. Go to duplexuniversity.com where you can find tools, templates, a weekly newsletter, all 100% free to investors. Find Joe on: Instagram @ duplex_joe - Twitter @ realduplexjoe or at WiscoREIA Green Bay on the first Tuesday of every month!

    Hosts: Jason Lund & Geoff Possley

                                                    

    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.

    Quitting the Perfect Day Job to Become a Full-time Real Estate Investor!

    Ever dreamt of someday quitting your W2? Witness Andrew Engel's inspiring journey from a stable tech job to the dynamic world of full-time real estate investing. With a young family in tow, Andrew navigated the challenges and triumphs of this major life shift.

    Join us to uncover the actionable steps and personal insights that fueled his transformative year.


    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.

    He is now focusing his efforts on building his real estate acquisitions business to wholesale, fix and flip, and hold residential real estate.

     

    WiscoREIA’s Kenosha Meeting Always Meets on the 2nd Thursday of the Month from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm!


    Hosts: Dan Yurkovich & Andy Baugher


    Dan started his investing career in 2018 when he moved to Kenosha and bought his first property to “house hack” and begin building a rental portfolio. After struggling in real estate for 2 years, he eventually found WiscoREIA in 2020. Networking with other local investors at the monthly meetups, he quickly learned the potential to become financially free through real estate and dove in headfirst.

    He started acquiring more rentals using the “BRRRR” method and eventually got into flips, wholesales, and creative financing. In June 2022, Dan was able to leave his full-time job as a mechanical engineer and start investing in real estate full time. 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.

    Dan loves to share what he has learned with other investors and get those around him excited about the life-changing potential of real estate investing. In his free time, he enjoys traveling, trying new food, playing sports and snowboarding.



    Andy has been passionate about real estate for all of his adult life. In 2012, Andy purchased his first commercial property and then continued his real estate investing over the years by purchasing and holding multifamily properties in the Racine/Kenosha area. His main strategy as an investor is buy and hold, but he enjoys and dabbles in BRRR, hard money lending and investing in syndicated deals. 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 continues to grow his investment portfolio and businesses. Andy and his wife own a local full-service real estate brokerage and a property management company.

    In his free time, Andy enjoys spending time with his wife (Meagan) and two young children (Ben and Jack) as well as working out, running and almost any other outdoor activity.

    Andy enjoys sharing his knowledge and insight with others about real estate investing and is passionate about helping people use real estate to build wealth and reach financial freedom.

    Using automation in Real Estate Investing to save time, reduce overhead, and make more money!


    Here are some key points Donald will cover:


    1. Marketing to Motivated Sellers w/ Purpose

    2. Proper Sales Process

    3. Follow Up is Key (Phone/SMS/RVM/Direct Mail/E-mail)

    4. Tracking Your Numbers (KPI's)

    How can automation be used in the above areas to save time, reduce overhead, and make more money!


    Speaker: Donald Ross


    Donald Ross was active duty in the United States Marine for seven (7) years (2007-2014). During his time in service, they had systems and processes for everything! He was in charge of purchasing and tracking millions of dollars in unit assets. While working in the Contracting Department, he developed a CRM that tracked all unit requests from requirement to award. It tracked $200 million in contracts and is used to this day.

    In 2014 a business partner and Donald Ross were flipping contracts (wholesaling) houses after being medically retired from the Marines. He built REI Automation Squad’s first CRM for real estate investors due to their own requirements within their business. As they joined masterminds within the real estate investing community others were asking what they used and if it was something they offered as a service? Providing software as a service (SaaS) began and has grown into a multimillion-dollar business.

    AJ first became interested in real estate in 2006. After years of contemplating, he bought his first house, a duplex that he and his wife made home for four years. Since then, they have purchased additional units and begun rehabbing single family homes.

    Turning $17,000 into a $16 million portfolio in 6 years!

    Do you want to grow your business? Do you want to do it in a healthy and sustainable way? When you look at a building, do you want to better see what you are looking at? Kevin will share principles he uses to make these decisions.

    Some people are figuring out their first investment purchase. Others have developed large and healthy portfolios or are on their way there. Wherever you are on your investment journey, Kevin's goal is to bring relevant and useful information to you. 

    • Decision making principles

    • Business fundamentals

    • How to find and finance deals

    • The benefits and risks of leverage

    • Operating a profitable business, ethically

    You won't want to miss this one!!

    Speaker: Kevin Gracyalny


    Purchasing his first property in 2017, Kevin is an active real estate investor primarily focused on rental properties. He started his professional career selling Cutco Cutlery. Using that sales experience, he took his $17,000 in savings to buy his first rental and start a business buying in bulk and selling a variety of products. This produced his initial capital to continue acquiring rentals. Over the years his portfolio now holds 16 million in assets comprising over 200 units. In addition to rentals, he has experience wholesaling and flipping.

    Early in his career, Kevin took time to figure out how he wanted to live. What was important, how to think, and how to learn. He stress tested the theories against multiple businesses to find what principles to keep, and which to discard. Ultimately, he seeks to live a good life.


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


    Hosts: Geoff Possley and Chris Wolfert


    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.



    Chris is a buy-and-hold real estate investor who got started in real estate investing out of necessity. In 2008, he bought a small condo in Chicago and shortly after, his family quickly began to outgrow the space with the arrival of their first child. When he went to sell the property in 2011, he realized he would take a sizable loss. Therefore, he decided to turn the condo into a rental property instead. Despite his initial apprehension, he quickly saw the advantage of real estate investing.

    In 2018, Chris began actively investing in real estate after moving to Sheboygan, WI. He invests in single-family homes and duplexes, which he operates as both traditional rentals and short-term furnished rentals. His long-term goal is to expand into larger multi-family complexes. Chris’s investing greatly increased after partnering with a good friend who introduced him to WiscoREIA.

    In his free time, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife Marla and their three children, Finn, Lexi, and Fiona. He is an active coach for youth soccer and basketball, spending much of his time during the fall and spring coaching soccer and during the winter coaching basketball. In addition to coaching, he enjoys snowboarding, cycling, golfing, and craft beer.

    WiscoREIA’s Green Bay Meeting Always Meets on the 1st Tuesday of the Month from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm!


    Hosts: Mike Martell & Joe Gracyalny 

    Originally from Two Rivers, Mike and his wife Kathryn (from Brillion) have been married for over 30 years. They have three grown children all living in the upper Midwest. After 25 + years in the kitchen and bath industry working in sales and sales management for a couple of large companies, Mike retired to Door County with Kathryn in June of 2018.

    Mike and Kathryn’s interest in real estate began in 1986 with their first duplex, an upper/lower in Wauwatosa, purchased on a land contract. Over the years they moved all over the Midwest chasing the corporate dream but always looking, buying, and updating properties, focused on kitchen and bath remodels. They purchased flips, buy and holds, tried their hand at land development, historic renovations and buying bank owned properties. Today they are focused on vacation rentals and private money lending.


    Joe is a real estate investor in the Green Bay/Fox Valley area. He has partnerships with other investors, as well as his own projects and views investing as a team activity. He specializes in self-storage and multifamily projects.

    Joe has a passion for education and helping newer investors. He was a teacher and coach in Dubuque, IA before moving back to his Wisconsin roots. As a teacher, he added a few rentals in the Green Bay area, and recognized the opportunity in real estate. He took the leap and hasn’t looked back. WiscoREIA provides the opportunity for him to be able to scratch that educator itch, as well as learn from the many people in the room.

    Joe got his first project under contract in 2018 and has been growing ever since. Known primarily in the area as "Duplex Joe," he has ventured on from mostly multifamily projects, into the self storage space and buys deals across the United States.

    If you are new and want to get into rental property, Joe published many of the tools he used in small multifamily for investors for free. Go to duplexuniversity.com where you can find tools, templates, a weekly newsletter, all 100% free to investors. Find Joe on: Instagram @ duplex_joe - Twitter @ realduplexjoe or at WiscoREIA Green Bay on the first Tuesday of every month!

    "CREATIVE" REAL ESTATE INVESTING, It's not just about deal Structure!


    Join Chris as he digs into all facets of what it really means to "think", "become" and take "action" like a creative investor. Most people believe it's ONLY drafting a creative offer, but there is so much more to consider as you structure that deal (on the front side, middle and end of a transaction). 

    Topics for discussion include:
    Marketing
    Networking
    Funding
    Landlording
    Accounting
    Mindset
    Accountability
