[Tanner Kimura]

Aloha,

My name is Tanner Kimura I'm a 19-year-old entrepreneur living in Honolulu, Hawaii, with a passion for diving into the real estate world. My primary focus is on multifamily units and mid to long-term rentals out of state. While I have little to no experience in real estate, I'm eager to learn and explore the strategies needed to achieve my goals in this field. Alongside this journey, I’ve started my own car detailing company, which has given me a solid foundation in business management and customer service. Now, I'm looking for guidance on how to make my mark in real estate. What's the best piece of advice you can give someone just starting in multifamily real estate investing? What strategies have worked for you when transitioning into mid to long-term rental properties? What are some common pitfalls to avoid as a new real estate investor, especially in the multifamily sector?

Any Insight or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Welcome to BiggerPockets Tanner! I recommend starting with a turnkey cash flow rental. It’s the simplest way to get a feel of what it is like to be a landlord without going through the hassle of managing rehab projects especially when you're investing out-of-state. I started purchasing a small multifamily in Columbus, Ohio 2 years ago. Columbus has seen rapid growth in jobs and population. Let me know how I can help you.
