Hi all, new guy here from Hawaii

Hey guys, I have signed up for this forum months ago but never had time to actually go through it or post an intro, so here I am.  My name is Royce Talbo and I am born and raised in Hawaii.  My family has been investing in real estate for years with the buy and hold, but nothing on a big scale usually only 3-4 properties at a time while occupying 1 of those properties.  My mom usually finds the deals and my dad and I would fix them up over the years.  I have owned a condo under my parents name and sold that several years ago and finally bought my own investment with my fiance. I have been struggling to buy an investment for over 5 years on my own, but could never get the financing.  I have read the beginners guide on here and several other books on real estate investing.  

My goal here is to learn techniques that will work here in Hawaii and network.  I say work here because I have been to several seminars where mainland people would come down and pitch their formula with suggested numbers from the audience only to see that it will not work.  I will be posting in other threads on the forum so don't hesitate to chime in. Thanks for reading and hope to make some new friends.  

Royce

@Andrey Y. thanks I'll look over the start page, but just to clarify I am not a beginner, though I'm no expert,  I am somewhere in the middle.  But there is always something that I could learn or refresh on.  I forgot who said it, but it was something like paying $14 for an investment book even though you know 99.9% of it.  if you can find that one thing that will save you money, it will pay for it self ten fold.  something like that, but you get my point hahaha.
