WiscoREIA Janesville’s Meeting Always Meets on the 4th Wednesday of the Month from 5:30 pm - 8:15 pm!

Hosts: Tim Dougherty

I’m a Christ-follower, husband, father, and full-time real estate investor with a passion for transforming properties and helping people. I began investing in 2008, and more than a decade ago I left my W-2 job to pursue real estate full time—a decision I’ve never looked back on.

Over the last five years, my team and I have completed 50+ deals across flips, rentals, and wholesales. As a landlord, we currently own 17 doors and growing, continually expanding our portfolio while improving the neighborhoods we serve. As the owner of Doc The House Buyer, LLC, our mission is to support homeowners throughout South Central Wisconsin, especially Rock, Jefferson, and Dane counties, by providing honest solutions for distressed sellers who need a trustworthy, timely option.

A core belief of mine is that once a student, always a student. I’ve spent the last 13 years learning, growing, and sharpening my craft through faithfully attending local REIA meetings, and that education continues today. Just as importantly, I’ve grown through serving and coaching others, paying it forward one person at a time. Helping new investors complete their first deals is one of the greatest privileges of my career.

I’ve successfully raised millions of dollars in private capital to fund real estate transactions, and I’ve built my business on two pillars: creativity and relationships. Whether structuring deals, solving complex problems for sellers, or collaborating with partners, these values have guided every step of my investing journey.

I’m committed to serving the Rock County community by sharing my experience, my network, and my passion for helping people build wealth through real estate. My goal is simple: to make a positive impact and empower others to succeed, both in business and in life.

Make sure to bring tons of business cards as you will be meeting with people that you want to get to know!
