Hard Money & the "How To" for Investors

Hard money loans can be a game-changer for Investors looking to seize opportunities quickly. Unlike traditional loans, hard money loans are asset-based, making the qualification process more accessible.

Hard money loans offer Investors a valuable tool to capitalize on opportunities that traditional financing might miss. Understanding the qualification process, leveraging the benefits, and being aware of typical terms can help investors make informed decisions and maximize their returns.

Jeff will cover:

• How to qualify for hard money
• How Investors use Hard Money to their advantage
• Typical terms
• He will have a case study or two!

Speaker: Jeff Cichocki

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.
