And financing from what I've heard is very difficult to get.

SFR with room to build on the lot will be much more plentiful than duplex/triplex deals.

I got my GC license a couple years ago so I could build houses myself as I was sick of dealing with contractors.I've hired plenty of contractors that were not licensed/insured and it went fine.

I was on island earlier in the month for an eviction trial and stayed at the Waikiki Banyan for a few nights - that seems to be a popular STR building.

It’s probably not that you’re “small potatoes” to your PM, but more a reflection of the nature of the market itself—low rents, properties with higher maintenance needs, and tenant issues.These factors make properties in these neighborhoods more difficult to manage and generally less profitable for property managers.

Selling PT is very difficult and as a young student it will be difficult to find much success.

I'm a new investor (we are under contract for our first rental property)!
We really took the bull by the horns on this one and patched our way through 😅 but I would LOVE some recommendations for a Tax Specialist, lend...

We’ve worked together for about 2 years now, and he is focused on the operations side of the business.There are many solid sponsors and operators in this asset class, some newer than us, and some older – and quite a bit of new money coming into this space (part of this is where we are in the market cycle, and other asset classes being overpriced like apartment buildings).I’ve personally had several conversations with @Jefferson Lilly (and met him at a conference), and he knows the space well.

I think build to rent is a great option if you can get cheap enough land to make it worth it.

If you manage to get this off the ground and do some verified - meaning paperwork is in your name, or company's name, etc - projects that turn a profit, and you build some capital in a bank, you should be able to go right to that lender after a year or two and start a relationship no problem.
