How to Successfully Partner in Real Estate

Podcast episode titled "How to Successfully Partner in Real Estate" with Kekoa Liwin and Cory Nemoto, featuring two men posing outdoors.

Real estate agents, investors, and business partners Kekoa Lwin and Cory Nemoto join us on this week’s episode. They share their insights on how to build a strong business partnership spanning multiple businesses. Cory and Kekoa break down how turning down a deal from HGTV, multiple gym trips, and closing down sushi bars at 2am led to their incredible friendship. Which is the basis for their business success. The Hawaii natives run a total of five companies, believe mindset is crucial to success, and that balance is the key to having a rich life.

Lwin and Nemoto are like oil and water because they are so different in their talents and skills, yet they are puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. On a day-to-day basis, Cory and Kekoa split their time between the five companies that they co-own:  Lwin-Nemoto Investment Group – the fix and flip company; Integris Real Estate – a concierge brokerage for investors by investors; KECO Capital – a specialty hardmoney lender; Elevation Construction – licensed, general contractors; and, Pacific Rim Property Management – property management and consulting for investors.

Tune in to find out how they started their companies, why five companies became necessary for Kekoa and Cory, and the unique way they manage disagreements (including how rock, paper, scissors is actually built into their contract).

Hi, we’re Kenji and Leti

we provide coaching and mentorship for doctors and high-income earners

Several years ago, we were newlyweds working as full-time hospitalists. On paper, it looked like we had everything: the prestigious careers, the happy marriage, the luxurious rental home, the cars, etc.

But in reality? Despite having worked for several years, we had very little savings. Despite our high income, we had very little freedom in terms of time or money.

One thing was clear: we had to do something.
