One of the biggest myths in real estate investing?
“I don’t have the money to get started.”

The truth is—deals attract dollars. When you know how to find and present the right opportunities, funding becomes a lot easier than you think.

Join us at WiscoREIA Janesville for a powerful session on private lending and learn how successful investors consistently fund their deals—without relying on banks.

In this session, you’ll discover:

✅ Why the deal matters more than the money
Understand what makes a deal attractive to lenders and how to structure it for success.

✅ How to find and build relationships with private lenders
Learn where to connect with potential lenders and how to establish trust.

✅ Presenting deals with confidence
What information lenders actually care about—and how to communicate it clearly.

✅ Protecting both you and your lenders
Best practices for structuring win-win agreements that keep everyone secure.

✅ Scaling your business with access to capital
Once you crack the code, you’ll never look at funding the same way again.

Whether you’re brand new or already doing deals, this session will shift how you think about money—and open doors to opportunities you may have thought were out of reach.

Come ready to learn, connect, and walk away with strategies you can use right away.

Panelists: Joseph Miller, Debra Hayes and Eric Clunn

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.
