Financial Freedom
for Engineers
When I was an engineer (2007-2019) I realized early that it was not for me because I did not really like who I worked for and the work was unrewarding. I believe this is the same sentiment from hearing the pre-Wealth Elevator stories many engineers, lawyers, doctors, computer programmers, accountants, and dentists from our Hui.
Working for the man gave me a sour taste in my mouth. From the start it was the perfect storm of pain and motivation. When I bought my first rental in 2009 and started on a path to make more than my boss and bosses boss this was a point where I knew I had found something that was lifechanging.
From 2007-2012, I was saving $40k-60k+ a year that went into more investments. Turnkey rentals at the time. In 2014, I finally cashed out my RothIRAs and 401Ks entirely despite everyone telling me not to do it. What did they know!
Never take financial advice from those who are not financially free. I never looked back.
In 2016, once I joined higher level mastermind groups I found what affluent investors were going into. Still it took me a decade plus to finally leave the golden handcuffs behind and let the investment income pile up slowly.
A lot of folks in our Hui Deal Pipeline Club like their jobs, but they can’t see themselves doing it forever. You might be stuck around with the wrong peer group in the office as I was? Your network is your net worth which can be solved for you by joining our Passive Investor Accelerator & Mastermind.

Many of you folks have some relationship with a financial planner, insurance agent, financial advisor, CPA, attorney, etc. When we take a holistic view of their planning, however, most are financially imbalanced and are unaware to handle their money.

My name is Lane Kawaoka, and I hope my blog/podcast will help families realize the powerful wealth-building effects of real estate so they can spend their time on more important, instead of working long hours and worrying about their financial troubles. There are a lot of successful families with good jobs (teachers / engineers / programmers / finance) yet they struggle to make ends meet financially. It is their kiddos who ultimately get the short end of the stick. Being a Latch-Key Child growing up, both my parents had to work and I was left home alone after school to fiddle with my thumbs.
With Real Estate you are able to grow your wealth exponentially faster than the conventional 401K’s and stock investing, therefore you are able to escape the dogma of working 50+ hour weeks at a job that is unfulfilling. And if you are one of the lucky ones who happen to do what you enjoy… well good for you 😛
Money is not everything but it is important because it gives you the freedom to live life on your terms.
Annoyed by the bogus real estate education programs out there (that take money from people who don’t have it in the first place), I set out to make this free website to help other hard-working professionals, the shrinking middle-class. I hope to dispel the Wall-Street dogma of traditional wealth-building, and offer an alternative to “garbage” investments in the 401K/mutual funds that only make the insiders rich. We help the hard-working middle-class build real asset portfolios, by providing free investing education, podcasts, and networking, plus access to investment opportunities not offered to the general public.
“The true meaning of wealth is having the freedom to do what you want, when you want, and with whom you want.
Building cash flow via real estate is the simple part. The difficult part occurs after you are free financially to find your calling and fulfillment.
But that’s a great problem to have ;)”
