Real estate newbie!

Hi everyone,

I'm Rocky, a rookie real estate investor and a Petty Officer in the Coast Guard. I'm currently exploring opportunities in the Honolulu market and looking to use my VA renovation loan to purchase a 3-4 bedroom home, renovate it, and rent out the extra rooms as part of a co-living/house-hacking strategy. I'm also in the process of getting preapproved to determine my budget.

I’d love to connect with others who have experience flipping or rehabbing homes in Hawaii. If you have insights on the best areas to look, common renovation challenges, or anything else I should be aware of, I’d really appreciate your advice!

Looking forward to learning from this community.

20 year resident, I've flipped several homes here on Maui. Got a great agent on Oahu. One of my agents here on Maui has used VA to build his portfolio. Lots of connections. Dm me
