In today’s information packed episode of “The Secrets to Real Estate Investing”, we get the opportunity to meet young Lane Kawaoka, an engineer, real estate investor, blogger and podcaster.  Like so many Americans, Lane started out on your typical, linear path.  Go to a good university, get a good job, work 50 plus hours a week, and save up for that primary residence in the best neighborhood in your city.  Lane soon realized that this would never be the path to financial freedom and independence.  After becoming an accidental landlord and experiencing great returns with this strategy, Lane officially caught the real estate bug and, after educating himself in all things real estate, he eventually discovered turn key rentals.  This particular niche ended up being the perfect passive investment strategy for him, as he most definitely prefers to be a cash flow investor.  Listen today to find out what Lane’s take is on the ever popular cash flow vs. appreciation debate and why one should NOT quit their day job.
