Investing In Real Estate for the Busy with Lane Kawaoka
In this episode of The Remote CEO Show, I had the pleasure to interview Lane Kawaoka. Lane has been investing for over a decade and now controls 4,500+ units. As owner of CrowdfundAloha.com, SimplePassiveCashflow.com, and ReiAloha.com, Lane is responsible for finding investment opportunities, analysis, and marketing. Lane obtained a BS in Industrial Engineer and MS in Civil Engineering and Construction Management from the University of Washington.
In addition to an analytical engineering background, Lane has real world experience in working as a project manager for over $250 million dollars of capital construction projects in both the public and private sector. Working as a high paid professional in Corporate America and frustrated by the traditional wealth building dogma, Lane was compelled to inspire and mentor other working professionals via his Top-50 Investing podcast at SimplePassiveCashflow.com
