Former engineer turned real estate powerhouse, Lane Kawaoka, joins me to break down how he built a $2.1 billion passive real estate portfolio with more than 10,000 rental units across the country.

• Why most beginners confuse “investing” with “buying another job”
• The markets and price points that still make sense
• His Wealth Elevator framework (the 5 floors of wealth)
• Why high earners get trapped in 401Ks
• How the wealthy legally pay less in taxes
• The strategy behind the “your spouse can stay home” tax advantage
• When to scale from single-family into commercial assets
• Why big equity plays often outperform monthly cashflow
• The biggest mistakes new investors make

Lane also breaks down practical steps for anyone trying to climb from the first floor to financial independence, including how to think about asset allocation, diversification, and transitioning to truly passive income.

If you want to understand how real passive investing works, how the wealthy use the tax code, and how to escape the W-2 treadmill, this episode is a masterclass.

This is the deal that started it all.

Back in the late '90s, I had no job, no money, and no credit…

But I still bought a house — and walked away from the closing table with $10,000 in my pocket.

Most people would’ve counted themselves out.

I didn’t. I found a way.

This was my very first No Money Deal — and it wasn’t traditional… but it worked:

✔️ My father sold me the house and gifted me equity for the down payment

✔️ My brother brought his credit to the table

✔️ We structured the purchase price above what my father actually wanted

✔️ And when we closed, there was enough left over that we split $20K in profit

I got a property in my name…

Without spending a dime.

And I walked away with money.

This is the foundation of what I now teach as The No Money Method —

You don’t need capital to start investing in real estate.

You need strategy, creativity, and mindset.

If you’re tired of thinking you can’t invest because you’re broke…

If you’re done waiting for permission from banks, family, or circumstance…

Then this episode is your proof:

You don’t need money to start. You need a method.
