TLDR: Expert advice needed from house hacking investor and Hawaiian realtor!

I want to keep going with real estate, but I’m unsure of where or who to turn to for advice, and I’m not sure if I trust my “team” now.

I feel like this potential deal structure is different from most which is why I'm seeking more advice/wisdom. 

Thanks @Mark Munson,Great advice.

There are mansions and then boarded up drug houses a few streets away...Thanks for the advice!

Any advice or even critique on my strategy is welcome as I’m definitely still learning a ton every day. 

In no particular order and this is not legal advice I’ll share expensive lessons learned: 1.

Chad,You're in a good place (BiggerPockets) for lots of good advice, but in the end, you should work with an attorney familiar with real estate, private money loans, promissory notes, property liens, etc. 

I would strongly advice you reach out to a real estate accountant and have all of it done for you correctly the first time! 

This will be my first investment so definitely appreciate any advice or help in general!
