    Real Estate Nightmares & Horror Stories

    Click here to register!


    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 Sheboygan Falls 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 Sheboygan Falls for a night of Real Estate Horror Stories!



    WiscoREIA Sheboygan Falls' Meeting Always Meets on the 3rd Wednesday of the Month from 5:30 pm to 8:15 pm!


    Host: Tanner Hake

    Tanner Hake has been around the real estate investing and REIA environment for the past 7 years, learning the business firsthand and being exposed to investors, entrepreneurs, deals, education and the relationships that make this business work.

    Since 2025, Tanner has taken a much more active role with WiscoREIA, helping with meetings, check-ins, setup, and making sure members and guests feel welcome. His role has continued to grow and he is now stepping into a larger leadership position with WiscoREIA, including serving as a Co-Host for the Madison chapter.

    Outside of WiscoREIA, Tanner has spent more than 4 years working in the self-storage industry with Just Simple Storage. Today, he serves in a management and operations role, overseeing multiple facilities and handling everything from day-to-day operations and tenant relations to maintenance, contractors, facility improvements and the many problems that come with actually operating real estate.

    That experience has given Tanner boots-on-the-ground education in real estate that goes well beyond just learning about it. He has been involved in the day-to-day side of running properties, working with tenants and contractors, solving problems and helping improve the facilities he oversees.

    Tanner is also actively looking for his first real estate investment as an owner, whether that is a self-storage opportunity, a single-family property, duplex or a property he can house hack. He enjoys connecting with other investors and business owners and is excited to continue learning while taking on a bigger leadership role within the WiscoREIA community across Wisconsin.


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

SHEBOYGAN HOSTS

GET TO KNOW OUR BRILLIANT WISCOREIA HOSTS!

Kyle Kaufman

Kyle Kaufman is a law firm owner, attorney, real estate investor, and host of the Meaningful Ideas Trading Club. Kyle was born and raised in Wisconsin. He grew up wanting to help people. He has discovered his life’s purpose to help families in Wisconsin and to provide individuals with commercial space for their business, and residences for people to live.

In 2005 Kyle started practicing law. He handled almost all aspects of the law. Early in his career he took on landlord and tenant matters, and civil disputes involving real estate. He started to advise people starting their real estate portfolios, and drafted documents for investors to use in their businesses and with tenants and property managers.

In 2010 Kyle became a one-third owner of the law firm, now known as HKK Law Offices (www.hkklawoffices.com). Kyle’s practice shifted to family law sometime around 2018, as more and more people called seeking his assistance. Kyle became fascinated with the financial information he discovered while representing individuals in divorce matters and financial disputes between former significant others. He started to study more thoroughly on the issues of real estate, business, taxes, and more.

Today, Kyle’s law practice focuses entirely on family law, including divorce, maintenance, child support, paternity, property division, child custody, adoption, termination of parental rights, guardianship and more. In the legal world, he sees his contributions in this area to have the most transformational impact on the community. An associate at his law firm practices estate planning.

Kyle now owns one-half of the law firm business and leads a team of 15 people.

Real estate has always been an interest, and after advising clients for many years, Kyle and his wife, Sunny, decided to join in on the fun. In the year 2020, Kyle and Sunny purchased a building with 18 residential units and two commercial units. In 2021, with a partner, they purchased two commercial properties. In 2022, Kyle and Sunny bought a 44,000 square foot warehouse with 3 parking lots. They sold the warehouse in 2025 for a profit. In 2025, they converted their Chicago condo into a rental unit, and then acquired 3 duplexes. They are generating passive income from their investments and using the power of delegation to make it all work.

In 2021 Kyle created an online weekly meetup event called the Meaningful Ideas Trading Club. Kyle hosts the program and invites others to share and mastermind on ideas related to personal and business development.

Outside of business, Kyle and Sunny have 6 children, and they enjoy spending their time with their family.
