About Lane:
In 2007, I graduated from college with a degree in Industrial Engineering and went to work as a construction supervisor.
Study hard at school, get an engineering job, and work at said job for 40 years.
But then I started investing in a SIMPLE single family home rental
With $2200 a month rent and $1600 mortgage payment.... That was a lot of beer money For an early twenty year old engineer
For you that can be a means for quitting a job you don't like or
A spouse staying at home to raise your own children
In 2015, As I reached 11 rental units I found a better way to invest for the busy professional by investing in private placements and syndications.
I also found the secrets of the wealthy which I bring to SimplePassiveCashflow.com
