Most people think Hawaii is untouchable as a real estate market. Indar proves otherwise.
In this episode, Matt sits down with Indar — a Hawaii-based investor with 10+ years of experience, 100+ flips completed, and a portfolio spanning Hawaii and the mainland US. He breaks down exactly how to buy, flip, and Airbnb in one of the most expensive and most regulated real estate markets in the country — and why the opportunity is still very real in 2026.
