From Fishing Boat to Fortune: Lane Babin’s Journey in Real Estate | Movers and Shakers Podcast

Welcome to the Movers and Shakers Podcast! In this episode, Gino Barbaro chats with Lane Babin, a former environmental consultant turned real estate investor. After spending 17 years in corporate, Lane took a life-changing plunge into real estate in 2021. Fast forward three years, and he’s amassed 55 single-family rentals, taken on a GP role for a 77-unit multifamily project, and has become a beacon of motivation for those looking to achieve financial independence.

Together, Lane and Gino delve into Lane's journey, starting from his very first spark of inspiration (spoiler: it involved a fishing boat sacrifice!) to his unique “Buy Right, Manage Right, Finance Right” strategy that helped him make big moves in single-family and multifamily spaces. Lane talks openly about the challenges, his mindset shift after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and the pivotal moment when his wife’s support became his greatest asset.
