Investor out of Kauai, Hawaii

[Dominik Makaneole]

Aloha all,  I've been slowly building up a rental portfolio of 6 units in a very expensive market.  Myself as well as my wife have jobs and are not quite ready to give that up yet.  I found this site by searching for ways to raise capital which is currently our biggest problem right now.  Although I have experience with finding properties, fixing, pricing, etc. My banking education is low.  I'm now having to learn about debt ratio and how banks look at projects completely differently than I do from an investor.  I'm learning how to do both. 

I'm also starting to look at property development which is a whole new ball game that I know very little about.  Because property is very expensive in my market, I'm looking at building apartments for rent to accommodate the younger working class that cant afford renting 3 bedroom homes which is the majority of available rentals here.

On a side note, I enjoy surfing, hunting, and working on cars.  I'm a veteran using my GI bill to learn the automotive field just because when I retire young, I will need a hobby lol.
