for me it was getting my RE sales license at 18 and gutting it out in the beginning. One needs income to buy real estate .. so if you can make some income selling real estate you will also learn how to buy and sell it at the same time.. plus the connections you make can be life altering.

there are many different income opportunities once you have a license. My self I started in the Raw land sales being lots and small acreages along with some larger ranch properties.. So there is a lot more to real estate license than selling homes .. there is commercial sales and leasing.. there is PM business there is time share sales. ETC ETC In Hawaii you could work on STR condo sales or try to market to the huge Japanese buyer pool.

LOL never mind I see you already are a realtor.. go get it. 

@Jacob Lorenzo Buying rentals at a young age in Hawaii is a monumental challenge. I'm saying this to inspire because you have to climb the mountain and it's a long journey. Your market is brutally expensive. It's not going give you any favors. You have to out hustle your peers or you won't find a property that works as a rental. 

The best way to grow and find good deals is by offering value - for next to nothing in return. Big or small, young or old, everyone has value. When you talk to people see if they have any problems and BE THE SOLUTION. When you do this opportunities will come your way. You'll be around the right people, ask the right questions, and boom someone wants to sell a property you can't pass up, sub 2, or partner with you.
