  Chris is the visionary and investor coach of the Master Investor Academy and Madison Real Estate Investors Association (REIA). Chris has decades of real estate investing experience and has seen (and smelled) more distressed properties than he cares to admit. He now applies that knowledge in the mentoring and education of his Coaching students that are actively engaged in rehabbing, wholesaling, and holding of properties all over South Central Wisconsin.

  Chris has been a Madisonian for over 45 years and investing in the Madison real estate market for over 26 years. Since doing his first house hack in 1994, he has been involved with 100’s of house flips, 100’s of rentals, raised over 10 million dollars to fund those deals and had 1000’s of students come through his local training and coaching programs. Chris has a PhD & Master’s Degree in the school of hard knocks.

  Between 2006-2010 Chris taught the Real Estate Investing course at Madison Area Technical College, which saw 100’s of students come through his classes.

  Between speaking engagements and mentoring other investors, Chris oversees the daily operations of his investing business, Madison Property Group, that rehabs, wholesales and wholetails properties, and holds properties for his investment portfolio.

  In July 2012, Chris founded The Madison REIA and in July 2021 merged his REIA with WiscoREIA which has 7 REIA’s across Wisconsin, bringing the combined membership to over 650 with 8 locations!

  AJ lives with his wife and children in the Eau Claire area. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family, working out, personal training, and he recently started coaching youth basketball. The challenge of investing in real estate is something AJ enjoys.

  He is always looking to share his knowledge and to continue learning about every facet of real estate.

  
  

  

  Shaun became interested in real estate in 2020. He has a home improvement company and investing company, where he focuses on flipping and BRRRRing real estate with his brother. Shaun and his wife, Sam, have a podcast called “Tutors of Life” where they research life, so you don’t have to.

  Hosts: Dan Yurkovich & Andy Baugher

  

  
  

  

  Dan started his investing career in 2018 when he moved to Kenosha and bought his first property to “house hack” and begin building a rental portfolio. After struggling in real estate for 2 years, he eventually found WiscoREIA in 2020. Networking with other local investors at the monthly meetups, he quickly learned the potential to become financially free through real estate and dove in headfirst.

  He started acquiring more rentals using the “BRRRR” method and eventually got into flips, wholesales, and creative financing. In June 2022, Dan was able to leave his full-time job as a mechanical engineer and start investing in real estate full time. He specializes in buying rentals with no money down and is always eager to learn new strategies to buy properties and help sellers in difficult situations.

  Dan loves to share what he has learned with other investors and get those around him excited about the life-changing potential of real estate investing. In his free time, he enjoys traveling, trying new food, playing sports and snowboarding.

  
  

  
  

  Andy has been passionate about real estate for all of his adult life. In 2012, Andy purchased his first commercial property and then continued his real estate investing over the years by purchasing and holding multifamily properties in the Racine/Kenosha area. His main strategy as an investor is buy and hold, but he enjoys and dabbles in BRRR, hard money lending and investing in syndicated deals. Andy built his portfolio over the years while working a full time W2 job. In 2022, Andy “Retired” from the “9 to 5” to enjoy financial freedom and continues to grow his investment portfolio and businesses. Andy and his wife own a local full-service real estate brokerage and a property management company.

  In his free time, Andy enjoys spending time with his wife (Meagan) and two young children (Ben and Jack) as well as working out, running and almost any other outdoor activity.

  Andy enjoys sharing his knowledge and insight with others about real estate investing and is passionate about helping people use real estate to build wealth and reach financial freedom.

  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.

  Hosts: Alyssa Burton & Rebekah Chamberlain

  

  
  

  

  Alyssa is the founder of Inspired Investments LLC and a dual licensed agent with Green Forest Realty and Chippewa Valley Real Estate, operating in Indiana and Wisconsin. She has cultivated knowledge across various fields within the real estate realm. With experience as an investor in single-family homes, multifamily properties, small apartments, self-storage facilities, and vacant land, Alyssa leverages her insights to empower her clients. Through Inspired Investments, she provides property management and project management for flips, and has been excelling in the field since 2020. Alyssa's favorite thing about real estate is that there are so many strategies and types of investments to get into. 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.

  
  

  

  Always an entrepreneur, Rebekah spent the first decade of her career starting and building an organic dairy farm from the ground up. The business went from $0 to just shy of $1M in gross revenue over that decade.

  7 years ago, Rebekah pivoted her efforts into Real Estate. Passionate about building a life and business that fit around her children instead of her business running her- she is grateful to only have created that balance for herself, but to also get to help others do the same. Rebekah has specialized in working with investors and commercial transactions and is using that experience helping others to begin building her portfolio.

  On a personal note, Rebekah is a busy mom to four beautiful children. Leading by example and leaving a legacy for her children is the “why” that inspires her to be better every day. You can find Rebekah enjoying time with her family, running, hiking, biking, soaking in the outdoors, reading, cooking or baking when she’s not busy with work.

  Chris is a buy-and-hold real estate investor who got started in real estate investing out of necessity. In 2008, he bought a small condo in Chicago and shortly after, his family quickly began to outgrow the space with the arrival of their first child. When he went to sell the property in 2011, he realized he would take a sizable loss. Therefore, he decided to turn the condo into a rental property instead. Despite his initial apprehension, he quickly saw the advantage of real estate investing.

  In 2018, Chris began actively investing in real estate after moving to Sheboygan, WI. He invests in single-family homes and duplexes, which he operates as both traditional rentals and short-term furnished rentals. His long-term goal is to expand into larger multi-family complexes. Chris’s investing greatly increased after partnering with a good friend who introduced him to WiscoREIA.

  In his free time, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife Marla and their three children, Finn, Lexi, and Fiona. He is an active coach for youth soccer and basketball, spending much of his time during the fall and spring coaching soccer and during the winter coaching basketball. In addition to coaching, he enjoys snowboarding, cycling, golfing, and craft beer.
