Bailey Richardson believes in a simple but powerful idea: with the right vision, smart automation, and a solid team, you can create a life where work and fulfillment go hand in hand. As the Operations Manager of REI BlackBook, she’s all about helping others see how these elements can come together to make something extraordinary. Her mission? To help people turn their big ideas into reality, streamline their processes, and find that balance between personal and professional success.
Bailey’s path hasn’t been a straight shot. She left the corporate world behind to dive into the dynamic, people-focused world of REI, where she could make a real difference. Her leadership style is hands-on and all about empowerment—fostering collaboration and guiding others to achieve their dreams. Whether she’s working with her team or helping others optimize their operations, Bailey’s message stays the same: Believe in your vision, automate the right processes, and find the right people to help bring your dreams to life.
Bailey also gets that balance is key to long-term success. She’s all about creating systems that support both your career and your personal life. When your processes work for you, not against you, finding that rhythm between work and life becomes less of a dream and more of a reality.
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.
