@Jared Jernigan I'd be interested as well.  I'd like to do more networking with people in Houston.  I'm an OOS investor, 2 properties in Houston right now.  Let me know when you're going to meet, I'll try to attend.

@Bryce Shinagawa There’s no easy answer for that question. It all depends on what your strategy is. I think it’s a good decision to buy in Hawaii(high appreciation) and I also think it’s a good decision to buy in the mainland(better cashflow) What are your goals? Passive income? Is cashflow important? Or appreciation important? Figure out what your goal is, how can you accomplish said goal and take action.

@Derek Okahashi great video! Thanks for sharing 🤙🏽

Aloha @Cassandra Williams there’s a few really good real estate meetups happening on Oahu. You should check them out! One out on the west side of Oahu is West Side Real Estate meetup. It’s mostly virtual so no need drive:)

@Bryce Shinagawa that's a great idea. I'm sure you're familiar with the BRRR method. Depending on how much your HELOC is for you could implement that strategy.

Where are you thinking of investing?

@Kory Sheldahl, if your agent is only advertising on the mls I’d ask them to also advertise on FB and Craigslist.  I had a tenant move out last week and had a new tenant move in the very next week.  Same thing for a friend of mine who rents a unit in tech park.  Best of luck!

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and advice. I ended up staying in the unit while the work was done. I trust the repairman but thought what if the tenant losses something and thinks the repairman took it and everything blows up from there. I agree with both trains do thought, no real answer, it comes down to your comfort level. Thanks again.

@Sam Leon

Hi Sam, the context was so the repairman doesn’t rob the unit. I’ve used this guy many times before and always satisfied with the work. I always make sure the tenant or myself is present. I trust him and didn’t want to sit in the unit while the work was being done today so thought I’d see what the BP community thought, come to find out it didn’t matter what the BP community thought, my wife wanted me to be there so that’s where I was :)

What’s your thoughts on leaving a repairman alone in your tenants unit while they work? A big no no or is it acceptable?

@Thibaut Moyne

Congrats, looks great!

So you closed on the sale?
