New guy in Hawaii

[Dayton Tomisato]

Hello BP Community!  

Ive been a visitor to the forums for months, reading tons of posts and finally decided to sign up and make an account.  

My name is Dayton and Im from Aiea, Oahu, Hawaii. A little about myself, I am born and raised on Oahu, married with children. I have no background in real estate, I am a electrician by trade. I was drawn into the idea of REI from some of my coworkers who started doing REI themselves. They didn't have any background but through education and guidance they were having success. I figured if they can do it, why can't I? And here I am. I am looking into learning to become a flipper, wholesaling if need be. That is my intention starting into this business. The why is to have my own business and spend more time with the family.

 Based on what I read on BP, networking is the first and biggest thing to do for beginners.  Well, I figured this would be a great place to start my networking with others.

I am excited to say that I will be attending a mentoring class on Monday and my "official" journey into REI begins.

Im also looking to attend any REI meetings to meet and interact with like minded people and any info on time, place and who to contact to attend would be great. In fact, anybody wants to have a cup of coffee or a beer to talk I have a fairly open schedule. Just trying to soak in as much as I can and anyone willing to talk, I'll listen. LOL.

Aloha
