REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS ARE ABOUT TO LOOK VERY DIFFERENT!  ARE YOU PREPARED?

On March 1, 2026, under Federal Law, certain residential real estate transactions MUST be reported to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

 In this important seminar, we will answer the following questions:

Who must handle the reporting?
What transactions and what information must be reported
Where is the information reported?
When is the information required to be delivered to FinCEN?
Why must transactions be reported to FinCEN?
How will our closings look different?

New Wisconsin Law Regulating
Affidavits of Interest

Wisconsin’s new 2025 Act 32 has changed the game for real estate investors. Under this law, you can no longer file an Affidavit of Interest on a property unless you meet specific legal requirements — particularly those tied to a valid “improvement contract.”

This session will break down exactly what that means, including how the law defines “non-improvement contracts,” what exceptions still apply, and what penalties investors could face for noncompliance.

More importantly, we’ll cover practical tips and strategies for working within these new regulations in 2026 — including creative ways to secure your deals, protect your interests, and stay compliant.

Whether you’re actively buying, wholesaling, or managing projects, this session will help you adapt your approach and avoid costly mistakes under the new law.
