Real Estate Developer/ Investor from Hawaii
Aloha Everyone, My name is Mana Silva.
Im from the Big Island of Hawaii. I played in the NFL with "The Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, and Baltimore Ravens". After my time in the NFL I started investing in real estate in Hawaii with my wife. On our first deal, at age 25, we made about $90,000 and from there we were "All In" with Real Estate Investing. Now, we have a Real Estate Development Company that builds and sells new homes in Hawaii. We recently started a House Flipping Company in Hawaii, but looking to expand into Hypermarkets in the States with some of our other partners. Also, we are going to be starting our own Cashflow Company. Ed Reed, future Hall of Fame football player and former teammate, use to always tell me, "Time Waits for No Man", so everyday is a day to "Rise and Grind" and that is how we approach every part of our lives. Look forward to meeting a lot of great people here on BP!
