Inspire Wealth with Prof M featuring Lane Kawaoka: How to Scale Real Estate Investments

A 2x best-selling author, Lane Kawaoka, joins us to share his expert insights into navigating the financial world. From being an engineer, Lane builds his diverse real estate portfolio. His journey from acquiring his first rental property to successfully transitioning to syndication will inspire you to explore the dynamic world of real estate.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
Background: Lane was an engineer who turned into a real estate investor, specializing in multifamily syndications and private equity investments.
Advice to First-Time Investors:
1. Understand the rent-to-value ratio
2. Explore and invest outside your backyard.
3. Focus on B-class or upper C-class properties for balanced affordability and tenant quality.
Property Management: Property managers play a crucial role for investors who have less experience and busy schedules. Lane highlights that choosing to handle your own property could save you money but could limit scalability and cause legal and operational issues.
Texas, Florida, Alabama, etc. are where Lane's portfolio is focused due to affordability, landlord-friendly laws, and economic development.
Lane's scaling strategies include syndications and private equity funds where he benefits from reduced hands-on involvement and improved cash flow.
Airplane Analogy: Syndication is like an airplane where the pilots are the general partners who do everything and the limited partners are the passengers who invest money and enjoy passive income without having to actively manage deals.
With the population growth in the US, the demand for rental properties increases, making multifamily properties attractive investments.
Expanding Beyond Real Estate: Lane explores business acquisitions focusing on services like HVAC, digital marketing agencies, and other income-producing assets.
Transitioning from Rentals to Syndication: Through a podcast he started in 2016, he educated and built trust with his audience leading him to grow a network of 900+ investors.
