How many people are looking to open a neighborhood restaurant right now?  

They love it there, have somewhat low income (one is a hair stylist and the other works at a restaurant).   

Starting smaller and moving up the chain instead of starting off so aggressively.

This is how my day has looked pretty much every day this week:8:00 go for a 2 mile walk from the north end of Kaanapali Beach to the South end, and back.9:00 sit in a chair on the beach, watching surfers doing tricks, answering emails, checking BP, and reading a book.12:00 walk to Whaler's Village to get lunch1:00 rent a cabana on the beach from which I: write this post, check email, read a book, and recharge.6:00 have dinner at an oceanfront restaurant and enjoy the Maui sunset.Ok, ok, I can't be on vacation all the time, so when I'm actually back home my days are much more chaotic.  

Keeping it short and sweet, I present to you a 23 year old male with a Bachelors in Supply Chain Management who is dropping flight school to slowly but surely work his way into the real estate investment scene chasing the cliche dream that we all are (do I even have to say it?)

I always look first for tax liens and then a broken title chain.

There are always the exceptions to the rule, but most of my clients are finding the properties that no one wants to take on (because of deaths, probate, chain of title issues) and they are creating equity in properties that would otherwise be foreclosed or sold at tax sale.

I haven't started investing yet but I lived here since birth, kings park isn't really a renter friendly neighborhood it is small community (they don't even let fast food restaurants in the town).

Within much of the already constructed belt there are parks, retail, restaurants, single and multi family dwellings, and various other amenities.  

Go see your planning department and go up the chain of command if you have to.
