Every real estate investor has a story…
The contractor who disappeared halfway through the job.
The “can’t miss” deal that turned into a money pit.
The tenant nightmare you never saw coming.
The flip that flipped on you.
Or maybe it was the deal that looked like a home run… until it wasn’t.
This October, WiscoREIA Hudson is bringing those stories to life with a Halloween-themed night of Real Estate Horror Stories!
We’re opening the floor and inviting investors to share their real-life experiences — the bad deals, costly mistakes, unexpected disasters, difficult tenants, contractor nightmares, and lessons learned the hard way.
And you’re not just coming to listen. Audience participation is encouraged! Share your own story, learn from someone else’s mistake, and hear the lessons behind the deals that didn’t go according to plan.
Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting out, you’ll leave with:
Real-world lessons
Mistakes to avoid
Stories you won’t forget
A few laughs and great networking
And maybe some reassurance that even experienced investors have a deal that haunts them!
Come dressed for Halloween, bring your worst real estate horror story, and get ready for a meeting that’s equal parts education, networking, and entertainment.
Because in real estate, sometimes the scariest deals make the best stories — and the best lessons.
Join us this October at WiscoREIA Hudson for a night of Real Estate Horror Stories!
WiscoREIA’s Hudson Meeting Always Meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month from
5:30 pm - 8:30 pm!
Hosts: Alyssa Burton & Lisa Mielke
Alyssa is an investor and agent operating in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Indiana. Founder of Inspired Investments, Inspired Realty, and Inspired Property Management LLC her businesses support her momentum in growing her real estate portfolio. Alyssa's favorite thing about real estate is that there are so many strategies and types of investments to get into. Since 2020, she has built a diverse portfolio of 70 units (give or take revolving flip projects) across various states—including single-family homes, multifamily, small apartments, Airbnb rentals and on the nonresidential front—self-storage and land.
She is dedicated to the belief that Real Estate can be used as a powerful tool to create positive change, and her greatest satisfaction is using what she has built to help do the most amount of good. Alyssa is always looking to grow and learn more and enjoys bringing like-minded individuals together.
On a personal note, Alyssa is a special needs mother and her children play a major role in what motivates and drives her, along with her faith and dedication to living out her calling and purpose. When she is not engaging in real estate-related activities you can find her chasing around her kids, volunteering, operating and collaborating with nonprofits, and advocating for the Down Syndrome community.
Lisa is a real estate agent and investment specialist serving Wisconsin and Minnesota. In 2022, she and her husband Johnathan purchased their first rental property with zero real estate experience. In less than three years, Lisa transformed from corporate engineer with a master's degree to full-time real estate investor and agent in 2025.
As an investor, she's built a portfolio of 10 rental units, and actively looking to scale, specializing in creative financing strategies that require less capital down while maintaining positive monthly cash flow- think BRRR method and seller financing. She also completes strategic flips in her local market when the numbers make sense.
As an agent, Lisa brings a fresh perspective to client service. She helps residential clients navigate the buying and selling process with clarity and confidence, often presenting sellers with creative options they never knew existed. She also partners with investors and commercial clients to identify and acquire profitable properties—leveraging the same growth-focused strategies she uses in her own portfolio.
When she's not sourcing deals, Lisa is a devoted mother who loves traveling the world, exploring new restaurants, and connecting over great coffee.
Make sure to bring tons of business cards as you will be meeting with people that you want to get to know!
