@Ian Jackson Great! I am gonna start it today. I just finished Rich Dad Poor Dad.

@Ian Jackson yea I agree. I have no intention of buying anything in Hawaii. We are happy where we rent now and I have no interest in getting into the Hawaii market. I made a decision last night and will look to buy my first rental investment out of state at beginning of 2019 and grow from that point.

 The Price to Rent ratio seems to be favorable for the Houston area unless I am misunderstanding. I am going to be buying a house in the Houston area.

Hello BP community!

Still a new member here and new to the REI world. I currently see myself in the research stage right now being a full time college student with no job. My question i have that I am seeking some advice on is our first home. I graduate college in December this year and looking to have a job lined up not far after. My family and I will be located here in Hawaii for another 10-12 months after I graduate.

So my question is since we are going to move back home to TX, during that time here in Hawaii before we leave, if an opportunity arises should I look to buy my first Investment property? Or should I wait until my family and I move home to TX because at that time we will be looking to buy our first home.

Thank you for any and all advice and comments! Looking forward to growing my knowledge base and network in this community!

Nice that sounds solid I am going to have to get after that and start looking around more! Thanks!

Those are two great points! Thanks for the info and taking the time to share! 

Hey everyone! I am looking to start my journey in the real estate world and I have found this awesome site that seems to be really helpful so far so time to just dive in to start networking and learning!

A little about myself I am 27 years old. I was in the military for four years. I got out a few years ago and continued with my education and I am currently attending college at the University of Hawaii and will graduate in December this year with a Business Management degree. My family and I do live in Hawaii right now for military reasons since my wife is still Active Duty. We will be moving back to the Houston area after she finishes her time in. I am pretty big into fitness and hope to one day own my own gym! 

As far as real estate I have ZERO experience and am right now just listening to as many podcasts and doing research as best as I can. I decided to start learning and to get into the real estate investing because of some videos I watched and decided that in order for me to provide the best life for my family and I that i needed to do something different from the average person. I dont want to be saving money my entire life because that savings account wouldnt be working for me I want my money to work for me!

My biggest challenge i am facing right now is that with my wife being stationed here in hawaii and myself not wanting to start my investing in such an expensive market here paired with me being a full time student right now I dont have an income. I am not comfortable buying out of state with zero experience as well as when my Family and I leave Hawaii to move back home to TX it will be our first house for our family!

So while trying to find solutions to that I am spending time to get to know as much as possible to better prepare myself for investing! I am open to all advice and any questions any one may have for me! I am excited to be apart of this community and to start my path along with many others!
