Landlord-Tenant Law & Long-Term Wealth

Click here to pre-register!

Join us for a no-fluff, experience-driven session with Norm Kopesky, a seasoned investor, educator, and passionate advocate for common-sense landlord-tenant laws.

With 15+ years in the long-term rental game—including single-family homes, multi-family units, commercial spaces, and even motels—Norm has seen it all. As the former President and current VP of the Fox Valley Apartment Association (FVAA) and a leader within AANW, he’s not just a landlord—he’s a voice for the rental community at both judicial and legislative levels.

In this session, Norm will break down:
✅ The legal essentials every landlord should know
✅ How to protect yourself and your properties
✅ Best practices for tenant screening, leases, and compliance
✅ Tips for growing a resilient and profitable rental portfolio

Norm also co-hosts the Real Estate & Cigars Meetup at his Appleton lounge, Appleton Cigar Co., where business, life, and cigars blend seamlessly. Outside of real estate, he and his wife Heather (married 26 years!) juggle four kids, multiple businesses, and deep roots in Wisconsin’s volunteer community.

If you're in real estate—or thinking about it—this is a must-attend.

Build wealth for the long haul. Protect it with smart legal moves.

I love sharing the lessons learned over the years; life, business and real estate. What steps we have taken to shift our strategies in marriage, parenting, business and real estate. How coaching has improved our lives and business', that setting a vision for your life, and building a peer group that drives you towards becoming the person you need to become to reach your goals is paramount.
