Investor from Honolulu

Hello Bigger Pockets,

I'm a newbie diving in head first.  I recently bought my first buy-and-hold in Missouri, and am getting my Hawaii real estate license in a month.  Looking to flip, partner, and make connections with trustworthy people who know their stuff.  I also speak some Japanese, and served in youth ministry and missionary work for over twenty years.  I have three awesome kids and an amazing wife.  We live in the Kapahulu area, just outside of Waikiki.

I hope to find and develop many a win-win connections here in the Bigger Pockets community...

Howzit Micah. The reason is rent to value ratio. I'll message you on the side. Hawaii doesn't work for cash flow, and the cost of even a tiny place makes it hard to find entry points anyway, unless you have significant cash to put in right off the bat...
