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.

I hope to have multiple properties under this entity, so changing equity split to compensate based on one job at one property doesn't seem to fit the bill.

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.

When I called him (he did have an area code which fit where he claimed to be from), he had a pretty thick African accent (now, I know there are a lot of different countries in Africa, but due to my ignorance, I can't intelligently suggest where specifically he may from).

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.

Also, I love the property management company I use -- we have an excellent relationship.SECOND, our previous home (the one we are debating renting or selling) fits the above rental strategy very well.
