Invest Smarter, Avoid Costly Mistakes,
and Gain the Edge of a Master Investor
In 2015, I built a portfolio of 11 single-family rentals, so I knew a thing about investing in real estate? But when I moved into syndicated deals, I learned a hard and expensive lesson—out of my first 15 syndications, 3 were with the wrong deal/operator, costing me valuable time, money, and more importantly life energy dealing with the newbie mistakes I didn’t even know I was making.
I realized that not all deals are created equal and very little on the pitch deck tells you if its a good investment, and without the right diligence, even experienced investors can get burned.
That’s why I built the Deal Review Desk—to help investors like you evaluate deals with the expertise of a seasoned LP who has reviewed 100+ deals and the critical eye of a GP/Sponsor/third-party operator of over 2.1 Billion Dollars of past deals looking over your shoulder.
💡 Smart investors know: If you’re committing $100K+ to a deal, investing just $1,000 for a review is a no brainer and no difference than a home inspection on a home purchase.
Who We Help:
✔ Accredited & High-Net-Worth Investors looking for expert guidance before committing capital.
✔ GPs, Sponsors & Operators who want a third-party expert to validate a deal before bringing in investors.
✔ Investment firms and Family Offices needing a white-label solution to streamline their due diligence without building an in-house acquisition team.

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 ;)”
