We'll discuss your deals, walk through our groups' rehabs in progress, share pointers and preferred vendors, and do it all in a friendly and informative setting.
Our General REIA meeting is on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in the evening.

MKE REIA Masterclass: Getting Started in Wholesaling
Online[NOTE: RSVPing here does NOT get you a link: you'll need to register at our website, HERE, to do that.]
Wholesaling is an awesome strategy—for getting started in real estate, for building up a nest egg or paying off debt, or for making money from deals you find but don’t actually want to rehab or keep yourself.
And what you’ve heard is true: you can make $5,000, $10,000, or even more on a single deal, without renovating or even closing a property
The problem is, there’s a lot of outdated—or straight up WRONG—education out there about what it really takes to do wholesale deals successfully, repeatedly, and ethically in the crazy 2025 market.That’s why we’ve rounded up Alan Chantker, a wholesaler with decades of experience in super-hot markets and super-dead ones, to outline the REAL process of finding, negotiating, marketing, and selling wholesale deals.
In this complete “How to REALLY Wholesale” class, you’ll find out:- How to understand what wholesaling actually IS—it’s way more than just “putting properties under contract and trying to sell the contract, and it’s way different than it’s often presented
- 11 kinds of motivated sellers to focus on, and 17 ways to find and contact them
- How to process leads and set appointments
- How “negotiation” actually works in wholesale deals (and some great resources for being better at it than your competitors)
- How to figure out the correct value for the property (despite what you may have heard, it has nothing to do with square footage or other rules of thumb)
- What your perfect purchase agreement looks like (not so complicated that it spooks the seller, not so simple that it doesn’t protect you)
- How to find the buyer, and WHY that buyer is willing to write you a 4 or 5 figure check to step into your shoes
- How to assign your contract
- How to get the deal to a successful closing
Your no-nonsense guide through what you REALLY need to know and do to make money wholesaling in today’s inventory-short, high-competition market is Alan Chantker, president of Mid-Atlantic REIA and 20+ year veteran of the real estate game.
The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants will receive the recording—so if you can’t attend live, make sure to register anyway!
Plus, it’s CHEAP:
• Members: $47 through Oct. 24 ($67 after)
• Non-members: $77 through Oct. 24 ($127 after)This strategy is too valuable—and too easy to get wrong—to wing it.
