About The REIA

The Milwaukee REIA was founded in July of 2009 with the goal of being Milwaukee's Premier Real Estate Investor Association.  So far we are definately on our way to achieving that goal.  Every month we continue to grow and we look forward to the months to come. 

The two co-founders of the Milwaukee REIA are Dan Kurszewski and Eric Lundberg.  Both are local investors that have been investing in real estate for over 5 years.  Dan and Eric are both very big on networking and education.  They created the Milwaukee REIA in order to provide more networking and education opportunities for fellow real estate investors.


Dan Kurszewski

Back in 2004, Dan became extremely interested in Real Estate and what it would take to become a Real Estate Investor.  He had no experience in Real Estate Investing but he had all of the desire.  The only thing Dan know about real estate is what he read in the countless number of books and guru courses that he invested in.  But Dan was determined to succeed in Real Estate and he knew the only way to give 100% towards his new business was to eliminate the job that could hold him back.  So in April of 2004 Dan left his job as a computer programmer to become a full time Real Estate Investor and has not looked back since.

Since 2004, Dan has been part of over 150 different Real Estate transactions.  Dan's main focus during that time has been rehabbing but some of the other types of investing he has done include Wholesaling, Subject To deals, Short Sales, Lease Options, and Landlording.  Dan also started his own Real Estate Brokerage in 2008 in order to provider Brokerage services to other investors while having a leg up on the competition when it came to bank owned properties or REO’s.

One of Dan's goals for 2009 was to begin sharing his knowledge in Real Estate with other current and future investors in the Milwaukee area.  So Dan teamed up with Eric in order to create the Milwaukee REIA in order to offer some additional networking and educational events for the local investors.  To this point, Dan and the Milwaukee REIA have been able to provide these opportunities and he looks forward to continuing to do so.

Eric Lundberg

While studying Philosophy at UW, and with no prospect of a real job after college, Eric began his first real entrepreneurial adventure in 1996 by starting a small marketing company focusing on the college niche he was already a part of.  Within 3 years of starting, and during his first year after college, the company, MBM, Inc., had grown it’s revenue beyond the million dollar mark annually and had a national network.  Though only 22, Eric thought he knew all there was to know, so he sold the company and moved to Costa Rica.

While the 2000 stock crash wrecked havoc on his plans, he did succeed in winning the hand of his wife, Ericka Sanchez, and the two of them returned in late 2000 to start their family in the Midwest.  Within a couple years of finally settling down, Eric’s Entrepreneurial instinct finally found an outlet that made sense and money.  Real Estate.  Once he had his first rental, there was no going back.  From 2004 until the present, Eric has personally rehabbed nearly 50 properties, and been a part of even more as an advisor, broker, or hard money lender.  As of this writing, he owns and manages 32 rentals.

Eric has made it his goal to not only increase his wealth and equity substantially year by year, but also to help others do the same.  His belief is that Real Estate Investing is an unnecessarily lonely business, for both the beginner and the seasoned pro alike.  By investing his time in the Milwaukee REIA he knows he’ll not only be able to assist others to reach the success they dream of, but in doing so, he’ll be he’ll build his business, one house (and one relationship) at a time.
