Tired of the fake Real Estate Gurus that are all just fluff!

A little bit about me:

I am an ex-Civil Engineer who invests passively in Real Estate from Honolulu, Hawaii.  I used to be in a big bad private company as a construction engineer but after some saving and investing I found happiness and balance at a lower-paying job.  I journal my experiences in the “Simple Passive Cashflow” podcast that I put on iTunes & Google Play.  My parents got screwed with the 401K and stock market and it’s my mission to get everyone out of the corrupt Wall Street roller coaster and into Main Street invests with safer, higher returns that benefit the middle class of America.
