The February meeting had was well attended even though it was a rare rainy night in Kona. 20 people were on hand to hear from local mortgage loan originator Ronnie Strickler, of HomeBridge Financial Services. Ronnie shared much of her practical experience and know-how, as a lending expert and long-time real estate investor. Leiola Augustine gave the February market update and Bruce Pratt presented the “In the News” segment. The group also discussed their experience with wholesalers on the Big Island as well as on the mainland. There was no deal analysis this month, though a number of investors in the group have properties near completion or on the market.
