Newbie REI from Kailua, Hawaii

[Gio Gonzalez]

My name is Gio Gonzalez from Kailua, HI.

My wife and I decided that we wanted to pursue REI a couple of months ago. We have been educating ourselves since then; reading books, lurking the forums and listening to podcasts.

I am a stay at home dad, so it gives me flexibility as far as looking for deals, making phone calls and analyzing deals.  Our goal is to acquire a small multi-family by the end of 2018. And after that, at least 2 deals by end of 2019.

Long term goal is financial independence.

Thank you @Matthew Hime...@Lane Kawaoka is definitely the man! I just can't always find time to make it to Honolulu, which is what birthed the Windward meetup haha. I love the Drink and Grow Rich meetup Lane hosts for sure!

Spoiler alert, Lane and I are planning a meetup together in January!
