Today, Lane Kawaoka is investing in real estate syndications, which invest in Class C & B Multi-Family apartments, RV Parks, mobile homes, and assisted living facilities because of the USA's demand for affordable housing – not rich-people Class-A assets. His mission is to help regular people make good deals that were once only accessible to the rich.The passive income from investing in stabilized rental properties made it possible for me to move back home to Hawaii , where the cost of paradise is 10%+ the cost of living and 30% less than the pay for comparable jobs in the US mainland. There, I was able to live a lifestyle where I could bike to work. It did not take me long, however, to finally quit my day job and ditch the e-bike for a Mercedes.Summary of the PodcastIntroductions and background Graham and Kevin introduce their guest Lane Kawaoka, CEO of The Wealth Elevator, who is joining them from Hawaii, which is a day behind their current time. They discuss Lane's background in real estate investing, starting with single-family rental properties and then transitioning to larger commercial real estate deals and syndications.The 1% rental ruleLane explains the "1% rule" for evaluating rental properties - the monthly rent should be at least 1% of the property's purchase price. He discusses how this is easier to achieve in secondary and tertiary markets compared to high-cost primary markets like California. He also highlights the benefits of focusing on cash flow over pure appreciation.Scaling up to commercial real estateAs Lane's portfolio grew, he found the hassle of managing numerous single-family rentals became too much. He pivoted to investing in larger commercial real estate deals through syndications, which provide more institutional-quality assets and economies of scale. This allowed him to focus more on value-add strategies and force appreciation.The Wealth Elevator serves different investor profilesLane discusses his book "The Wealth Elevator" and how it aims to guide investors at different net worth levels on appropriate investment strategies. He is passionate about empowering the "first generation" of wealth creators, providing free educational content, and building a community of like-minded investors.Future plans and diversificationWhile real estate remains Lane's core focus, he is also exploring opportunities in other asset classes like micro private equity and digital marketing agency acquisitions. He emphasizes the importance of having a clear financial track record and P&L when evaluating new investments, rather than "flying blind".The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled ten years ago to help business owners and marketers market to affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Finding under the radar Real Estate niches is extremely difficult, especially with the amount of information readily available online. One exception in today's market is RV Parks. There are 1.2 million people that live full-time in RVs but there are only 600,000 pads for them to occupy when traveling. In addition, 85% of RV parks are owned by owners who only own one park, and 50% don't even have websites and 70% don't take online reservations. This is an asset class rife with opportunity. Ben Spiegel, Founder and CEO of Redwood Capital, is building a portfolio of RV parks in the south. Ben is implementing professional management and positioning them for sale to an institutional buyer.
