Venture capitalists, large or small, big business or individual with equity, are entities looking for someone else to provide a return on their investments.

Sounds like you are looking to JV (joint venture) with people and learn as you go. 

Good luck on your venture!

I am interested in starting  my new venture in wholesaling.

I worked out a deal with the land owner to do a joint venture, we're giving him $50,000 up front which we get back when we sell the units and he gets one for free free and clear.

I have had some success here in my local Los Angeles market but with the high price points and the inconsistency in deals I am looking to venture into a new market.

Not all deals will be home runs, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

So essentially, as long each of your (up to four) partners have some sort of active role in your partnership, even a small one, you can partner up with them via JV (joint venture.)At the end of the end, always consult with an attorney.

It'll be great to meet some Hawaii folks who are just starting out with their real estate ventures or those who would like to start investing.  

These can be summarized as follows:What are the objectives of the joint venture?
