Lane Kawaoka is my guest on this week's episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast. Lane is a full-time engineer but also loves to invest in real estate. Lane has always worked on the west coast or Hawaii, where it is really hard to find cash-flowing rental properties. He has had to invest out-of-state to find deals that made sense to him. On this show, we talk about how he first got involved in real estate and how he both bought houses from turn-key companies and  on his own. We also talk about what his current goals and how he is changing his investing strategy.

I have gotten two hard money loans in my 16 year career as a real estate investor. Both of those loans I obtained this year from Ben Shaevitz with Patch of Land. I shy away from hard money loans because of the high rates, hoops you must jump through, and length of time it can take to get the loan. However, I worked with Patch of Land because they were able to eliminate many of those difficulties. The thing that really helped me out was they did not require a full appraisal to get the loan completed. Not only did they lend to me without an appraisal, they were able to complete one loan in less than a week, which helped me get a deal I may not have been able to get otherwise. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I talk with Ben about Patch of Land, how how he got started in the business, and why I decided to finally use hard money.

Tyler Sheff has seen a lot in his real estate career. He started flipping houses in his early twenties and was very successful before the housing crash. Tyler also held some properties as rentals and eventually sold his properties before the crash, which caused him to incur a huge tax bill. Tyler decided there had to be a better way to invest in real estate, so he started buying apartment buildings after the housing crash and held more of his properties instead of selling them. Tyler eventually got his real estate license and started his own podcast that discusses real estate investing. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast, I talk with Tyler about his career and what he has learned over the years.

Kathy Fettke has seen a lot of ups and downs in the real estate market while living in San Francisco. She has bought rentals in San Francisco, but it can be really tough when almost every property costs more than one million dollars. After a health scare with her husband, she knew she had to find a way to create passive income while living in one of the most expensive markets in the United States. She has learned to buy rentals and even develop land in other markets to create that passive income and wealth. Kathy has also become an expert at helping others invest in other markets for cash flow. She tells us all about how she got started in the real estate business, how she built passive income in the face of a crisis, and how she helps others build more cash flow from markets across the country. You can listen to it all on this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast.
