Speakers: Ken Collins and Keith McHugh


Ken's journey began in the field of social work and psychotherapy, where he dedicated a decade to helping others navigate their personal challenges. Seeking new horizons, he transitioned into the tech industry, joining Hewlett-Packard. Over the next 24 years, he evolved from a Computer Engineer to a Global Project Manager, culminating in his leadership of the Global Sales Lead program, which under his stewardship generated nearly $1 billion in sales each year.


In 2016, Ken pivoted to real estate investing, initially employing the BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) method. Upon retiring from corporate life, he focused on creative deal structuring, mastering techniques like Subject-To (Sub2), Lease/Options, and Land Trusts. His portfolio includes over 50 Real Estate transactions in the last 8 years, ranging from mobile homes, single family and multifamily properties, showcasing his versatility and expertise in the real estate market.


Ken credits much of his real estate knowledge and sharpened skills to his active participation in the many WiscoREIA Madison education programs. Through joining their Coaching Program, completing the Blueprint course, and engaging in numerous educational opportunities including hands-on property tours and weekend training events from a variety of speakers sponsored by the REIA, Ken has continuously expanded his expertise in real estate.


Ken is renowned for his proficiency in lead generation and deal negotiation, leveraging a multitude of creative strategies to craft win-win scenarios in real estate. He now steps into his role as a coach for aspiring real estate investors, eager to share his knowledge and experience. He is always on the lookout for personal growth opportunities, being an active member of groups like Lifeonaire and the Generations of Wealth Mastermind group, which further fuel his passion for continuous learning and development.

With a life that beautifully blends family, community, technology, and real estate, Ken Collins is not just a coach but a mentor who understands the art of building wealth through real estate while maintaining a life of balance and fulfillment.




Originally from Arlington, VA, Keith’s journey in real estate began with a childhood immersed in design and construction, learning from his architect and contractor parents. After falling in love with Madison, Wisconsin, during a 1995 visit, he made the city his home, launching a diverse and accomplished career.

His professional experience spans leadership roles in nonprofits, small business development, sports event management, records storage, marketing, and even baking. This multifaceted background, combined with his passion for mentorship, shapes his strategic and creative approach to real estate.

Keith’s real estate career began at 19 with his first home purchase, followed by his first rental property at 22. Now a licensed Realtor with five years of experience and over a decade in real estate investing, he is a graduate of Chris Hake’s coaching program and a member of the Real Estate Investors Association (REIA). His expertise covers rehabs, wholesales, long-term holds, and creative financing, including securing nearly $1M in private funding.

Guided by principles of accountability, grit, and empathy, Keith empowers others to achieve success in life and business. He lives on Madison’s west side with his wife, April, and their three pampered cats, and remains dedicated to helping others build fulfilling lives through real estate.
