Wow! I wish I would have discovered this BP community sooner! The blog and forum are amazing tools providing a wealth of knowledge. I am excited to keep learning, maybe share some of my own experience, and keep pushing forward toward my goals! 

My wife and I are from Elma, WA and got started in investing a couple years ago. We got sick of paying high mortgage and car payments and struggling financially so we sold the cars and rented our house. While living in an apartment, we bought a duplex owner financing with only 3% down. We now are working on a couple fixer properties and are aiming to build our psssive income.

    Just got pinged on this too… welcome to Kauai @Brandon Turner, if you're indeed here.

    Didn't know you lived in Montesano. My uncle is a retired Fire Chief there.

    @Waylon Brun@Jeremy Santy@David L.

    I agree! I've been talking with a few folks about getting a REIA started here on Kauai! I say we shoot to have an informal first meeting here in either late March or early April. I'm reaching out to each of you individually to coordinate.

    Mahalo!

    @Greg Horn, @Jeremy Santy, @Waylon Brun, @David L.- I'm out almost all day today and most of Saturday- but how about Saturday evening for drinks (and/or tea!) Maybe let's start an email thread so we don't steal more of @David Stone's thread? Brandon at Biggerpockets.com. 

    David - be sure to also connect with @Kyle Pettit and Kyle Turner (can't @mention him for some reason, but he's also in Elma.)
