Panelists
Tyler Kabat
Tyler and his wife have been doing furnished rentals since 2021 and launched Doorway Travel in January of 2023. They currently manage a portfolio of 50 rentals, a mix of midterm and short term, across the state of WI. We own 14 furnished units themselves, and six long term units that are managed by a company who specializes in LTRs. They offer full service property management; everything from design and furnishing, to guest messaging and property maintenance. They are both from the valley, currently live in Appleton with our two beautiful children, and have one more on the way!

I have successfully managed diverse property types, including multi-family communities, single-family homes, while maintaining high occupancy rates and strong financial performance.

WiscoREIA’s Appleton Meeting Always Meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the Month from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm!
Host: 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.
