We have some great panel guests for our next meetup. For anyone investing in the Greater Milwaukee area and are hiring or searching for contractors, this is a meetup you won't want to miss. 

Anthony Klenke: Anthony moved to Milwaukee to attend UWM graduating with Accounting and Finance degrees in 2005. During college, he started Klenke Property management, Inc. to keep away from getting a minimum wage job. Anthony also attended Rich Dad education to understand more about Marketing, Rehabbing, Wholesaling, and other techniques available for real estate investing. After graduation, he bought first investment duplex with then girlfriend, and now wife, Jaime. He then expanded his business by cutting grass, and maintaining other people’s property. With a growing family of 2 boys and 2 girls in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014 he quickly figured he needed to find new ventures. Redeveloping houses seemed like the best way to do just that. Anthony started with hiring contractors. Since, he has gotten a contractor license allowing for much better oversight on projects allowing Jaime to focus on design and product management for the rehabs.

Marcus Auerbach: Born in Austria with a degree in mechanical engineering including 20 years working for an excavator manufacturer as business director, Marcus retired to follow his passion with RE- buy and hold since 2010. His focus is $150-$200k single family. He usually does full blown rehabs on his properties but has also done rehabs for clients and is currently building in Mequon. Marcus is also a licensed real estate agent, focusing on buyers and investors. He has some great tips to share on how to find contractors and to attract and retain talent. 

Atty Jon Hyndiuk: Atty at law with his own general practice emphasizing in real estate, small business representation, litigation and estate planning. Also, Broker owner of Esquire Realty and owner of ISR Title Company.
