Would you start your investing in Hawaii?

[Cody Buckingham]

Good morning everybody,

I'm a brand new investor. I've been learning and analyzing deals for just under a year now. I have a large amount of savings that Im looking to invest. I'm currently in the military so VA loans are an option. I'm in a unique spot where my job will allow me to move to Hawaii (Kauai) or move back to the Midwest. I would love to move to Hawaii but the issue I'm running into most is it seems to be a very expert level market. Just want your thoughts if you could do everything over would you rather have started in a market like Hawaii or Midwest and any advice you can give me in regards to harder and more expensive markets.

Thanks in advance.
