Hosts: Alyssa Burton & Lisa Mielke
Alyssa Burton is a real estate investor, agent, and entrepreneur operating in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Indiana. Founder of Inspired Investments, and Inspired Realty and Property Management, she has built a diverse portfolio since 2020 spanning single-family homes, multifamily properties, small apartment buildings, short-term rentals, self-storage, and land. Most of her portfolio is affordable housing, and fix-and-flip projects.
Alyssa also has a passion for business acquisitions, believing real estate and business ownership can fuel one another’s growth. Her husband, Aaron, leads their business acquisition efforts, with their first successful acquisition complete (Smart Builders Group) and more to come.
Known as a trailblazer with big vision, Alyssa remains a constant student. She values the unique gifts, experiences, and perspectives every person in the room carries and loves bringing people together to connect, learn, and grow.
At the heart of Alyssa’s work is her Christian faith. As a Holy Spirit-led entrepreneur, she keeps her eyes on a greater goal: to run her race with endurance, kindness, integrity, and strength, knowing that God will equip for the calling. She founded nonprofit Inspired Retreats, Inc., combining real estate, her background as a mental health counselor, and faith to create spaces for spiritual rest, renewal, and equipping. Her greatest satisfaction comes from meaningful work and using what she has built to serve others.
As a mother of three, including a child with special needs, Alyssa has built much of this with a baby on her hip—her family remains a motivation and heart behind her work.
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.
