Hi BP members, this is the first time posting here.

I have been reading books and listening to Podcasts daily last 6 months or so.

Currently living in Illinois and looking to move out from Illinois in next 3-6 months. I am looking into to invest first properties probably duplex or triplex. The area currently interests me is Oregon or San Diego. I know those places are expensive but through searching online, I heard Bend is reasonably price arranged and this is the one of the cities last five years people are moving in.(opposite of Chicago lol. Lot of people are leaving because of crime rate and high tax rate.).

Also in San Diego area, National City is reasonable price, I heard.

On the way to Japan last month, I stopped over in San Diego (I stayed in the area Loma??? That was beautiful place by the ocean.) and I fell in love with that weather. If you are in these areas or you have any knowledge, I would like to have some suggestions. Anyway I don’t have any ideas about these places... so any advices are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Wow.  Good to know if somebody was talking about him.  He sent me friend request.  And I could not find his company when I searched on google.  And his account kept closing so I was wondering what happened... kind of somebody suspicious.

I had a condominium in Kona, Big Island of Hawaii, and I rented to Hawaiian guy.   It was a garden unit facing to garbage area and no scenery at all so it was hard to rent out first of all.   This guy didn’t pay rent at all and living with his father, and kids, so many people.  I consulted with RealEstate lawyer and he suggested me, “You could keep sending my letter to him and spending money.  However best way to get him out, is ask Hawaiian yakuza to kick him out” He meant like this guy is not going to move out in that way.  So my ex husband had bike rental business in Waikiki and there was a scary Hawaiian guy he knew (most of people when they see him they are like “hell out of there!”)and he was watching his business too. We asked him for his help.  He is that kind of guy.  My ex husband and him took a flight early morning from Honolulu and then got there 8 a.m., knock the door...and he opened the door.  He was so astonished, I heard... I was young and he thought I could not do anything about it...so he tried to close the door but guy’s toe was already at the door...He did some Hawaiian threat...he didn’t do anything but his presence made them scared.  

A few days later my friend Jennie and her husband went to Kona Reef(that’s name of building) to check him out.... he was still there at pool side but her husband is Hawaiian and he went to him, “How’s going” then he was like flied away.  After that he’s completely gone from the unit.  Hawaii has Hawaiian way to do business lol...Later on, a year later or so, I was at my ex husband’s bike shop I saw him he was carrying surfboard going toward beach.  He was looking back to me astonishingly from faraway.  He might not have realized I was in Honolulu too.  Don’t get me wrong though, I love Hawaii and there are so many Aloha spirited people and I had no experience then.  Next time around I will check background before doing anything.  Never have that experience again!!!!  Thanks.

I am a newbie however I used to live in Hawaii and big banks are First Hawaiian Bank, Bank of Hawaii, and Central Pacific Bank.  I think biggest bank is Bank Of Hawaii.   This bank is everywhere in Hawaii.
