Hi, I'm Lane Kawaoka!

I kept a big secret for 12 years as a Licensed Professional (PE) Civil/Industrial Engineer, during that time I had been quietly building a rental property portfolio.

I stared investing in 2009 in rainy Seattle, being a ramen-eating cheapo I was able to buy a property early right after college. After discovering the difference between ‘Cashflow Investing’ and ‘Appreciation Investing (i.e. gambling / speculating)’… I moved my portfolio into 11 single family rentals in Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Pennsylvania.

Today, I am investing in syndications, which invest in Class C & B Multi-Family Apartment, RV Parks, mobile homes, and assisted living facilities because of this Nation’s demand for affordable housing – not rich-people Class-A assets. My mission is to help regular people into 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. Today I help people get started with my 2x best selling books and podcast.

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 ;)”

TheWealthElevator.com is for Accredited investors who are looking for diversification and better returns outside of traditional investments such as mutual funds and stocks.

The Wealth Elevator Investor Club is where I filter investments and underwrite the numbers/people and operate the deal. I personally have skin in the game investing alongside with my investors along with co-signing on the debt and reputation that I have built up since starting in 2009.

Since then we have acquired over $2.1B in assets, 10,000+ rental units.

club member testimonials

“Lane is a great mentor and friend. When I think about introducing folks to real estate investing, Lane would be one of the top three guys I would recommend that he or she talk to. He’s an engineer so you know he’s good with numbers and optimizing gains. Also, what sets him apart is that he’s always providing value. He provides education and he thoroughly walks people through what may be foreign to the average person concept of passive cash flow investing. He’s passionate about what he does and he wants to share his passion with everyone who wants to get out of the rat race and gain wealth and freedom. Lane helped me to navigate the markets in Alabama and I’ve already done a couple syndications with him as well. He shares education and provides the connections. I would definitely have him in your network of investing mentors. He helps to bridge the gap between professionals and usually difficult to access investment opportunities.”

"I invested with Lane because he took the time to understand my experience and goals before I jumped in my first deal. I was impressed with his background, especially since he had started with a large portfolio of SFH turnkeys and the moved to larger MFH deals. Exactly what I wanted to do. He directed me to his online material that helped educate me more on MFH investing and syndications. Lane introduced me to a deal in Mississippi which was well structured with attractive numbers and paid out in the first 6 month on schedule. Now I'm happy to be a part of SPC and looking forward to investing more with Lane!"

"I read a book called, "The Millionaire Next Door" and it explained why my pain points were motivating for me, and how I channeled that frustration into something productive...the desire to make my family proud and 'come up' in life and pull my family into a better socioeconomic situation, and to 'have what others have but i never could' but somewhere along the way, I learned quickly that the 'having of stuff' is not what brings happiness so I dont pursue the shiniest of immaterial things... just the MED.... minimum effective dose of what I truly want which is surround myself with a few quality people and necessary things to subsist on than a bunch of trendy new things and fads that will fall off eventually."

"Lane challenges the status quo... what we all grew up learning about money and investing... and teaches how to build cashflow to leave the "rat-race". Over the past 2-years, Lane's leadership, advice, and friendship has been integral on my path to building a real estate and note portfolio beyond my imagination. I've also hit the elusive accredited investor status with 1 financial maneuver I learned on listening to Lane's show. And the crazy thing... I'm just getting started! Thank you, Lane!"

“It continues to amaze me how many physicians refuse to open their mind and invest in other things other than the career. I’ve recently cut back eight shifts per month and my partners are like how can you afford that but, considering I am on my 27th multi family deal and just recently sold all my single family rentals Im not retirement ready but definitely cut back the stress of ER. Keep pushing, refreshing your energy and well put together deals!”

"We lost $100k with another pop-up syndicator. Unfortunately the SEC has been investigating them for over a year, now. We recently got an email saying they were going bankrupt. We never got the kind of monthly reports from them like you give us. So glad we found you Lane."

"My wife is officially is quitting her job at the end of this year. Thanks for helping us be able to do that. One of her friends had to go back to work 10-weeks after having their second kid because they need her income to pay the mortgage. It makes me cringe just thinking about that."
