I’m curious about how financing works in this space, especially since land investments have unique challenges and opportunities compared to traditional property flips.

I immediately offered to pay the cost to my tenants to make it more accessible.

Yes, full access, so not outsider uninformed of what's being said, taught, promoted, and NOT said, taught etc.. 

I recently obtained my HI real estate license to access the MLS and assist with my personal house-hunting needs.Does anyone know of a more boutique brokerage on Maui where I can hang my license with minimal overhead and without the requirement of going through a mentorship program?

I look forward to connecting with fellow investors, learning from seasoned pros, and hopefully sharing my journey as I dive deeper into this space!

You'll have far less competition as you move into the 5+ unit space where the different financing and higher prices weed out many of the first time investors feeding on $400k fourplexes. 

I just requested access to Avery's FB so hopefully I can hop in there soon. 

With your background in architectural design, you're already ahead of the game in understanding spaces and their potential!

Just keep it real, keep it accessible, and make sure the value feels genuine rather than forced.

When you sell the property, and access the equity in the form of liquid cash, you make your profit.
