    330: [Lane Kawaoka] Building Your Business for Your Family

    This episode with Lane Kawaoka outlines a strategic wealth-building framework focused on concentrating capital, not diversifying it, especially for newer investors to reach critical mass. The key strategy involves leveraging the "1% Rule" for cash-flowing rentals and viewing homeownership as a valuable "forced piggy bank" for the non-wealthy. The long-term goal is to climb the "Wealth Elevator," transitioning from actively managing small properties to operating as the "Chief Investment Officer" of a passive, large-scale commercial asset portfolio. Links: https://theWealthElevator.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/lanekawaoka/ We talked about: //The one money mistake everyone makes and how to fix it immediately. //Why the traditional advice on real estate is often wrong. //The system for turning a passive income stream into a real, durable asset. //The secret to surviving market downturns without panic-selling. Key Moments with Timestamps 00:00 - Intro 02:48 - Lane's Start: How being "homeless" and living off the company dime fueled early wealth. 04:42 - The Pitfall of Scaling: Why managing 11 rental properties became a chore. 09:38 - Advice for the Sandwich Generation: The barrier to entry for a $100K rental property. 11:09 - The 1% Rule and how to find investment properties that cash flow. 16:15 - How to choose your market: Defining A, B, and C-class areas. 23:08 - Understanding Syndications 34:36 - The Future of Investing & Why Concentration is Necessary for Growth. 36:45 - Final 4 Questions. 41:30 - The importance of accountability and hiring a committed coach. __________ Follow Me: Website: https://aboutthatwallet.com  Episode 330 -- DISCLAIMER: I am not a CPA, attorney, insurance, contractor, lender, or financial advisor.
