Would love to connect with people who can give me advice on what to look for or where to study for starting out.

My advice?

This sounds like good information.

It sounds like an ad you might’ve seen for fix-and-flip loans—lenders have been getting more aggressive in that space.

It sounds great on paper but I'll have more insight after it goes live and I see how it works.

That does not sound like a good market for new construction if nobody else is doing it there. 

Investing in Hawaii sounds like an amazing plan!

Since this is my first project, I’m very open to any advice or suggestions—especially regarding potential obstacles I might not have considered.

When somebody asks for advice, I always try to put myself in their shoes and understand who they are and what their objectives are so I tried to do that with you with the little amount of info I could garner from your profile.

I hope you will get some good advice on here.I read that you said you don't want to invest outside of OC.
