The topics include Lane's beginnings in real estate, the importance of building a network of investors and operators, the importance of empathy and storytelling in securing investments, strategies for accessing capital, the benefits of being a debt fund, and tips for achieving financial freedom.

About Lane:
In 2007, I graduated from college with a degree in Industrial Engineering and went to work as a construction supervisor.

Study hard at school, get an engineering job, and work at said job for 40 years.

But then I started investing in a SIMPLE single family home rental

With $2200 a month rent and $1600 mortgage payment.... That was a lot of beer money For an early twenty year old engineer

For you that can be a means for quitting a job you don't like or

A spouse staying at home to raise your own children

In 2015, As I reached 11 rental units I found a better way to invest for the busy professional by investing in private placements and syndications.

I also found the secrets of the wealthy which I bring to SimplePassiveCashflow.com

In this episode, Mario talks with real estate investor Justin Colby about his strategies for success. They discuss the single-family home market, including flipping, wholesaling, and buying and holding rentals. He talks about the importance of understanding the math behind real estate investing and offers advice for navigating the current market conditions.

He encourages listeners to be consistent, achieve mastery, and do the work in order to succeed in real estate investing.

About Justin
After graduating from UCLA in 2003 with an English degree, Justin went directly into business for himself. He has never had a W-2 job. In 2005 he got into real estate by co-founding a brokerage in the Northern California area. Quickly he realized that being a realtor was not for him.

In 2007 he got into real estate investing full-time. 15 years later, Justin has flipped well over 2000 properties, accumulated millions in rental properties, and is an active investor to this day.

His success in real estate led him to start The Science Of Flipping podcast and education company, where he has coached and mentored over one thousand aspiring and active investors.
