Hosts and Speakers: Joe Gracyalny & Jennifer "Jennie" Buah

Joe is a real estate investor based in Northeast Wisconsin and specializes in multifamily and self-storage properties and began his real estate journey in 2018.

He became a WiscoREIA member in 2019 and then his role as the host of WiscoREIA Green Bay in 2021. WiscoREIA has been instrumental in fostering key partnerships and business relationships, and Joe credits the community with providing both a platform to give back and an opportunity to learn from fellow investors. Hosting the Green Bay chapter has been a rewarding experience that he genuinely enjoys.

You can connect with Joe at WiscoREIA Green Bay on the first Tuesday of every month, follow him on Facebook (Joe Gracyalny), Instagram (@duplex_joe), X (@realduplexjoe) or visit duplexuniversity.com where you can get tools, templates, and his newsletter all for FREE!

I kicked off my real estate career as an investor in 2012 with a spontaneous decision to rent out my Madison condo. I became a property manager within 24 hours of posting... with a lease from the internet and sheer luck.

I found REIAs later in my career and am thrilled to be one of the WiscoREIA hosts in my hometown, Green Bay. I was also on the board of the Fox Valley Apartment Association in 2023/2024.

As an investor, I focus on flipping/renting single families in the Fox Valley. I am also an investor-friendly real estate agent and own Fox Valley Staging and Design - a property design business that specializes in remodels, listing preparation, short term furnishing, and interior design.

I'm a proud Green Bay native now living in Appleton with my two adventurous boys, Damian and Bryce.

Property Tour – Real Deals, Real Insights

Click here to pre-register!

Ever wonder what it really looks like behind the scenes of an investment property?

Join us this August for an in-person property tour where we’ll walk through an active or recently completed real estate deal.

You’ll see:

• The numbers behind the purchase

• Renovation decisions (what we fixed… and what we didn’t)

• Lessons learned from the project

• What the investor plans to do next — flip, rent, refinance

Whether you’re brand new or have a few deals under your belt, this is a chance to ask questions in real time, see the property up close, and network with local investors in the field.

Bring your notepad and your curiosity — this is where learning gets real.

WiscoREIA Green Bay: The Invisible Chain Holding Most Investors Back (6 Oct 2026)

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Invisible Chain Holding Most Investors Back

Click here to pre-register!

What if you could do more deals, make more money, and actually feel at peace doing it?

Not a new strategy. Not another system.

Just finally removing the ceiling that's been there the whole time.

I know that ceiling exists because I hit it myself. I was sitting at my kitchen table staring at a foreclosure notice. Wife who believed in me. Three kids counting on me. No plan. That wasn't a market problem. It wasn't a strategy problem. It was an identity problem. And the moment I figured that out, everything changed.

This talk is what I wish someone had said to me in that room.

What Your Members Will Walk Away With:
✅ The real reason most investors stay stuck despite having all the knowledge they need

✅ How the brain is either driving results or quietly blocking them (and most investors never know which)

✅ A practical framework for breaking the invisible patterns behind inconsistency, avoidance, and burnout

✅ A clear path from grinding and overwhelmed to free and actually building the life they got into real estate for

Who This Speaks To:

✅ New investors who can't seem to get moving despite having the information

✅ Active investors doing deals but still feeling trapped, burned out, or like something is missing

✅ Seasoned investors who have built something but still don't feel the freedom they signed up for

Free Giveaway:

✅ Every attendee gets a free copy of my e-book "Flip Your Future: 5 Steps to Build Wealth and Find Purpose Through Real Estate" including a bonus Identity and Wealth Checklist they can use every single week.

My Only Ask From the Room:

✅ Grab the free resource

✅ Follow me on socials

✅ No pitch. No selling. Just value.
