Fearless Leadership and Vertical Integration with Real Estate Mastermind Kekoa Lwin

The Real Estate Law Podcast

Meet Kekoa Lwin! Kekoa is full of energy and knowledge, and we loved hearing his take on leadership, mentorship, growing a network, and teamwork.

He's the leader of Team Kekoa and proud Co-Founder of KECO Capital, Integris Real Estate, Pacific Rim Property Management, and Elevation Construction.

Kekoa runs a number of vertically integrated companies, starting each because of a specific need that arose during his real estate journey. Each company complements one another, creating his own "Power Team"

• Property Management
• Hard Money Lending
• Licensed, bonded, insured General Contracting
• Real Estate Agency

Kekoa started in college when he "majored in girls and minored in real estate" and started house hacking before he even knew what that was! Since then, Kekoa and his team have completed over 250 house flips (many "before HGTV made it cool") in Hawaii, Seattle, Las Vegas, and Dallas.

In this episode, we talk about:

-- Setting up a vertically integrated real estate company

-- The importance of building a team of pros

-- Why he started a hard money lending company

-- How Kekoa manages all these different endeavors at the same time

-- The "white belt" mentality of always learning, despite success and money

-- Developing talent and the value of interning and shadowing

-- How colleges should be teaching courses about financial life hacks

-- Vetting business partners

-- Networking at the gym with other 5am workout enthusiasts

-- Real Estate Professional status and the tax benefits that come with it

Kekoa gives an amazing analogy between mindset and wearing a flower lei:

"The neat thing about the flower leis is that when you have a flower lei on, everything smells amazing. And it smells amazing, because you've got the flower lei on.

And to me the mindset is like the flower lei.

It's like when you go into the day with a mindset that says, hey, I can do this, today's going to be better than yesterday. And the high of today is going to be the low of tomorrow. So you know, I'm just going to keep on pressing into the day.

And you have a mindset like that, then man, you can do anything, no matter how hard life gets, because you've got that lei of a mindset of positivity that really changes things."
