It's time to move and start taking the steps toward my goal of financial independence. 

I’m looking to meet other investors in Hawaii, mainly on the Big Island, and my goal is to get my first deal under contract within the next year. 

If this is your first property, go with Class B... and try to get 0.8% rent on purchase price.AirBNB/Long term rental again is depend on your long term scale goal....

Start with goals, and back in from there.For example.

Your goal in screening is to find reasons to reject.

My main goal will always be to build a portfolio of long-term buy and hold investments and to acquire properties with as minimal cash invested as possible.

So I started my own software development company 7 years ago, this allowed me to work from home and stock away a decent savings, but I knew I didn't want that long term, and rentals was always the end goal.
