Thinking that your day job is enough for retirement? Think again. Discover how Lane Kawaoka used real estate to secure his financial future.

In this episode, host Catryn Becker sits down with Lane Kawaoka, an engineer turned real estate mogul, to explore the vast potential of real estate investing as an alternative to traditional stock market investments. Lane shares his personal journey from a secure job in industrial engineering to building a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio. His unique approach involves leveraging the geographical independence his investments afford, allowing him to live in his ideal location—Hawaii—while investing in markets where the numbers make the most sense.

Listeners will gain insights into the systematic method Lane has developed for identifying lucrative real estate opportunities that offer consistent returns. He delves into the mechanics of real estate investment, including the four main ways rental property owners earn income: mortgage pay-down, property appreciation, tax benefits, and rental income. Lane also discusses the concept of creating "mini pensions" through strategic property investments, which can serve as a cornerstone for long-term financial security and independence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about stepping outside the conventional path of corporate employment to embrace the opportunities that real estate investing offers.
