Speaker: Jennie Buah
Jennie's journey into real estate began in 2012 with a spontaneous decision to rent out her Madison condo, a move that ignited her passion for real estate overnight. She became a property manager within 24 hours of posting... with a lease from the internet and sheer will.
Transitioning from a successful career as a corporate project manager, Jennie harnessed her organizational prowess and leadership acumen to delve into full-time house flipping by 2023. She has two completed projects under her belt and plans for 2-3 more in 2024. She specializes in mid-market single family and is passionate about improving family neighborhoods by providing functional & design-forward homes.
A proud Green Bay native, Jennie returned to her roots in Northeast Wisconsin in 2019, now residing in Appleton with her two adventurous boys, Damian and Bryce. She is a full-time real estate investor and investor-friendly agent with Expert Real Estate Partners.

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.
