The best way to learn about how to really invest in real estate is to read books, listen to good podcasts, and pair that with going to in-person meetups so you can see people just like you, married with 3 kids, who are making it work for them.

The second part is very personal and different for everyone. 

My personally favorite spot so far is Ko Olina but I'm open minded.

@Jill KellerI personally owned and managed several rental properties, mainly one family, 3-families and been advised by a number of attorneys through the years to forget doing LLC's.

I personally recommend people look into an FHA on a small multi to get started.

I personally know the person that owns the property and am close friends with him.

I have not seen a significant difference in this area between section 8 and non-section 8 tenants, personally. 

The first few weeks were great, but at some point, you realize that all of your friends are working and you can only watch that much daytime TV.

I have never been there personally but I have heard it's good food.

If you are nearby, if you have ever been a pizza delivery person, maybe deliver a pizza to the wrong house that may or may not be the one being foreclosed on so atleast you can see inside a small portion. we used to just go knock on the door some folks would actually let you look around.
