Turning properties into prosperity

Curious what it actually looks like to invest in Hawaii? At this free in-person Maui meet-up, you’ll hear how local investors are making it work, right here on island, and what they’ve learned along the way.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up, this session is packed with takeaways you can use:

  • Learn how others got their first deal off the ground

    From side hustles to savings to partnerships, find out what strategies real investors used to fund their first (or next) deal in Hawaii.

  • Hear the wins and the lessons from active Maui investors

    It’s not all sunshine and smooth closings, get the raw, behind-the-scenes stories that don’t make it to social media.

  • Make connections that can shift your journey

    You don’t have to figure this out alone. Talk story with other locals, ask questions, and get inspired by what’s possible when you surround yourself with the right people.

  • Leave with clarity on your next move

    Whether it’s funding, networking, or simply believing it’s possible, this meet-up could be the nudge that gets you unstuck.
