Dude every one who comes to Hawaii has this idea but you are like 50 years too late... you are better off finding something in LA or inland empire if you want to stick to a tier 1 primary market.San Francisco, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston are examples of primary markets which are NOT ideal for cashflow investing. 

Our goal is to build a portfolio or as I say an "empire" of passive income to provide the cash flow needed for early retire in 15 years, wo we do work on furthering our careers.

I'm located in the D.C. area and highly motivated to start building a real estate empire.

Turn your empire public - sell shares - get financing to grow.

Since we had good fortune with our first rental, I am even more excited to use real-estate to build up a cash flow empire on our way to FIRE! 

Indoor AC/outdoor, 15,950 SF, 122 units, 60 parking spots, 96% average occupancy, fenced with 24/7 security, 35 yrs left in land lease.

Once I start my own BRRR empire, it'll undoubtedly get less favorable.  

@Sarah Lam We would recommend you look into Empire Industries there in Houston for a management company.  

Rents here are often over $1 per square foot.I'm taking the BRRR approach and plan to purchase 2 properties or more per year once I get started.I've always dreamed of building a real estate empire, and it's exciting to be in the beginning stages of making this happen.
