Welcome to the Mario Dattilo Show Podcast!
In this episode, Mario talks with Lane Kawaoka about his approach to commercial real estate success. The topics include Lane's beginnings in real estate, the importance of building a network of investors and operators, the importance of empathy and storytelling in securing investments, strategies for accessing capital, the benefits of being a debt fund, and tips for achieving financial freedom.
About Lane:
In 2007, I graduated from college with a degree in Industrial Engineering and went to work as a construction supervisor.
Study hard at school, get an engineering job, and work at said job for 40 years.
But then I started investing in a SIMPLE single family home rental
With $2200 a month rent and $1600 mortgage payment.... That was a lot of beer money For an early twenty year old engineer
For you that can be a means for quitting a job you don't like or
A spouse staying at home to raise your own children
In 2015, As I reached 11 rental units I found a better way to invest for the busy professional by investing in private placements and syndications.
I also found the secrets of the wealthy which I bring to SimplePassiveCashflow.com
