Hi Devin, no I haven’t. Not yet at least. Through the podcasts I’ve been hearing very positive things about how to find meetups through the website and how to connect with people in my area. That was the big push for me to finally make my own profile. Thanks for the supportive words! 

Aloha 

Hi! Thanks for the support. I noticed you are in CA. Do you also work with people looking to start investing in Hawaii? 

Aloha everyone! 
My name is Maile, 32 real soon born and raised in Hawaii.  I have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast for about 6 months. Starting from 1 and trying to get to the the newest ones lol. I’m almost at my 100 episode milestone I created for myself 😂. 

I’ve always been interested in realestate  investment but have been having such a hard time finding a solid group of people to learn from and understand that in Hawaii, most times even 2-incomes are not enough to survive. Especially with 2 little ones.  The people I have talked to want me to go into realestate sales 300% or just want to sell me something 😓.  Bigger pockets has really given me hope and so much knowledge from house-hacking tips, to “Just do it” pep talks and all the great golden nuggets I pick up from every episode (even the mobile homes segments).  My biggest fear and obstacle is that I can’t drive to another state to check things out being on a rock in the middle of the sea. May I add the price for paradise really is a pretty golden penny.  My eyes always pop out of my head when I hear guests talking about buying whole apartment complexes with 20 units for the same price it would cost for a literal grass shack in Hawaii with maybe a fence.  However I know there are deals and potential here I just need to find them. 

I hope there are some patient experienced “lions” out there within Hawaii or familiar with Hawaii’s market that could help this (semi) young-pup out, weather it be an awesome conversation, tips or tricks to help find the right path of direction or the dream/goal of a life long friend and mentorship.  

Thanks for reading my post. I finally listened to the, loud and clear quick tip reminder, to introduce myself here and not only listen to the pod cast. Hope you have a great day!
