Michael Mazzella owes me 200k and he has stated in multiple emails that he does not intend to pay me back. I attended his courses in Honolulu and we made an investment deal in 2017. We signed a contract that I would lend him 200K and he would pay that back to me PLUS interest after one year. It has been 3 years now and he has paid back nothing. When I attended Mazella's course, I remember another man who was there, telling me that he was waiting on Mazella to pay HIM back...I should have seen that red flag and ran. Since the deal, I have become a quadruple amputee and I am 82 years old...the stress and heartache on me and my family has been unbearable. Now more than ever, with healthcare costs, long term care, I am depending on that repayment. I trusted this man and wish I hadn't. I have emailed him multiple times. Our contract stated I would be repaid with in ONE YEAR. He told me that he is 100% uncollectible because he does not hold assets in his name so there is no forced collection, levy or garnishment...and to not throw my good money after "bad." I interpret that to mean that he didn't have any plan to pay me back. In a recent email, when I asked him point blank : Do you have any intentions of repaying anything, this was his reply: "I've already answered this question. Twice in fact. Yet you keep asking as if doing so will change the answer. So I'm gonna answer it one more time. No. We have to wait until the deal resolves itself...If and when the foreclosure concludes and wipes out your interest, then you have lost money, and then we have that discussion. In the meantime you might want to consider lawyering up to protect your interests against the 1st position lender, who has named you as a defendant." Ultimately, the "Honolulu Mentor" or "Turtle Bay Mentor's" advice to me was to lawyer up, and my advice to anyone taking his class, is please do not make the same mistake I did by trusting this man...and the more I talk to people the more I find people just like me, in this situation with someone who did not hold up his end of the deal. read more

Your instructor and mentor, Michael, will teach you the right way to invest in any market. Just be ready to learn new concepts vs old school ways of thought about money, banking and real estate. In Michael, you have a mentor living and actively investing in Hawaii. I know quite a few graduates of the mentoring course who are very successful real estate investors after taking Michael's course and wanted to be successful as a real estate investor myself. Not knowing exactly what to expect I enrolled in the mentoring. Talk about drinking information from a fire hose! It's a lot to absorb during the week long course. He not only covers how to find deals and fund deals, ground you in the important fundamentals of real estate investing and will teach you from the ground up. Not only that, he teaches goal setting, who you need on your power team, critical thinking as well as mastermind groups. I really enjoyed the hands on training provided by going out to deals he has in progress. It comforting to know that even after graduating, I know that he is available for questions for up to 30 days.

Michael Mazzella is "Da Man" when it comes to Real Estate Investing and building passive income to build lifetime wealth. Why figure it out when you got Michael Mazzella here to mentor you and teach you all his strategies. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Not only that he "talks the talk" he is actually "walking the walk" and he can prove it! He is not some mainland guy coming here to teach and then leaving us behind. NO! He is local, living here with his family and ACTIVELY doing this as I type this review. What I really like about his mentor course is that he keeps it small so there is that personal one-on-one connection with Michael. There's also different options to take his course. I opted to take the weekday courses which ran Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Each day averaging about 10 hours. And let me tell you, there was no ounce of boredom in me. Everything he taught me got me more excited as the course progressed! I honestly wished that the course went longer! But I know Michael really cares for his students and wants us to succeed and now its my time to make it happen! Like any education you get, you go to school and graduate and make things happen. If you want to build a strong foundation of knowledge in Real Estate Investing and creating wealth, then let Michael build that foundation for you! Thanks Michael again for offering this course. Not too many like you that is willing to teach their secrets. If you're on the fence (like I was, about a year) about taking Michael's course, just do it! It will be a great investment for you and your family. Aloha! read more

I first was introduced to Michael Mazzella and HonoluluMentor.com in December of 2008. At that time, I was looking for a business opportunity and a way to learn more about making money in Real Estate. Michael took the time to meet with me personally before his course to answer any questions I had, and was quite candid about the requirements for becoming a successful student in his course. I took the challenge and dove in with both feet. After the 4-day intensive class was over, I was exhausted, but had learned more about not just Real Estate Investing, but owning and operating a business than I realized was possible, and also learned some important lessons being successful investing here in Hawaii. He teaches many principles beyond Real Estate that are quite helpful, and have been instrumental in my own development as an Entrepreneur. Because of his coaching, I was able to close my first deal successfully, and also made some significant strides in the Real Estate Wholesaling market. Michael Mazzella has my highest recommendation if you are looking for a coach or business mentor either here in Hawaii or from afar. I'm very grateful for having been introduced to him, and if you take his course, you will too! Thanks Michael! read more

I took the course in June. The best way to learn is from someone who is actually doing it. Michael is local, VERY active, and willing to share his knowledge. Not much more needs to be said than that. Just seeing how many deals he is doing is inspiration enough to go get one of your own. He not only teaches you about how to do deals correctly, he also teaches you long term strategies so that you can retire with passive income. Very balanced approach. Well worth the tuition. read more

If you're serious about kick-starting your career as a real estate investor you HAVE to take Michael's mentorship course. Even if you are not pursuing a career in real estate, Michael will give you proven strategies to help you reach your financial dreams in the shortest amount of time. He is the real deal and not only talks the talk, but walks the walk...he's completed 175+ real estate deals and counting. Michael's a well-known member of the real estate community on Oahu and he puts his reputation on the line every day. This is not some guy flying in for a weekend seminar and flying back to the mainland for his next speaking engagement. He's been doing deals here for 15 years and I learned more about real estate investing from him in 4 days than I have in 10 years of my own personal pursuit of REI wisdom. I've always been skeptical of real estate/financial courses but Michael has been the exception. He even agreed to meet up with me to chat before I signed up for his class. These are just a few of the reasons why I chose to take his course and what I came away with it: 1) REAL and practical advice and techniques that he's used personally to build his real estate company 2) Someone who is ACTIVE in the local community and is actually doing deals here in Hawaii 3) Proven strategies that will get you started on the road to wealth creation and the ultimate goal of lifetime passive income 4) Being a part of the amazing real estate investing community on Oahu 5) An emphasis on not only real estate goals but life goals Strap on your helmet if you're serious about taking a step forward with Michael. You'll be sending out actual offers and analyzing real deals...and that's just Day 2! He's also a terrific speaker and motivator. The A/C will be cranked up and you will be amp'd up during an amazing week. read more

I am a big fan of learning from others, especially if they have been in the industry for sometime and have first hand experience on the trials and tribulations of what they are teaching. Michael has put together a jam packed 4 day intensive training on how to become a more knowledgeable investor. Once you have completed his class, you must take the knowledge he shares with you and add your own dose of creativity, determination and tenacity to become successful. With that said, I really enjoyed Michael's class, the information he shared with us and his positive energy! Now, when I look at various business and investment opportunities I take what I learned from Michael and apply it! I also like the fact that he provides a list of many local point of contact and coordinates various networking events throughout the year. This gives you a chance to network with other like minded investors! read more

Today I just completed my 4th day of Michael Mazzella's Millionaire Mentor Course and all I can say is WOW!!! If you ever wanted to be a Real Estate Investor (REI) in Hawaii, than this is the course you need to take!!!! Don't bother taking real estate investing courses from guys who don't even live here or who have never done a deal in Hawaii. You will be wasting your hard earned money. I can say that with confidence because I was one of them who bought into all those "sale pitches" from "salesmen" who represent these guys I watched on TV. I thought if I learned from them than I would surely be able to be a Real Estate Investor. It was about 6 years ago that I toke those classes and got burned. Not making at least back the money I invested was a hard pill to swallow. But there was still something inside of me that knew there has to be a way to be a successful REI in Hawaii. So as I was researching adult classes on Yelp, I came across the Honolulu Mentor page and linked to his website HonoluluMentor.com to get more information. I emailed Michael with a few of my questions and he replied that very day. I honestly was a little surprised that he answered so quickly himself and not one of his assistants. He never tried to push his class on me or sell me anything. We exchanged a couple of emails and he was very helpful. That was in February 2016 and honestly the only thing holding me back was the price of the course. Like I said, I already lost a lot of money 6 years ago and I didn't want a repeat. But I also didn't want my past mistakes to hold be back in fear and as the months past by I still had that desire to learn to be a successful REI. I seen on his website that he was offering a 4 Saturday weekend course in June and I thought that would be perfect for me being a busy mom and I toke the leap of faith and paid for the course. It was the BEST decision I ever made and the course that Michael teaches is well worth the money and more! He is a very active Real Estate Investor right here in Hawaii and currently is doing 20+ deals right now. He makes more money Finding Deals and Funding Deals than he does teaching his Mentor Class. That already speaks volumes about the type of man Michael is personally that he is still willing to teach and share his knowledge. If you have a desire to be a Real Estate Investor in Hawaii than Michael Mazzella's Millionaire Mentor class is definitely the way to go!!! read more

Worth every penny.... if you are a beginner or advanced real estate investor this course is for you I had flipped 3 homes before taking Michael's Course and yet I learned so much. Wish I had taken his course sooner. A wellspring of knowledge and wisdom. read more

Had the opportunity to take Michael Mazella's Course recently and it really changed my thoughts of what my future should look like. All these years of instilling the W2 employee mindset which has trapped me with no clear retirement solution. Then I took the Honolulu Mentor Course and now I see that the impossible is possible. Investing in Real Estate in Hawaii is possible and with the what Michael teaches it will make you a savvy real estate investor. Invest with little to no money is the strategy that gives you the best ROI. Michael is very personable and will give you one on one support. Compare his price with other courses out there along with what your return will be off your first deal and this is a steel. What more can I say? It really will change your mentality of how you look at investing forever and will add value to beginners or novice investors. Thank you Michael! read more

Turtle Bay Mentor - Graduates and REI's from Michael Mazella's Honolulu Mentor course. Great week and the best future of our lives ahead. :) - Investing Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

WOW where do I start?... My name is Cory and I am a proud graduate of Michael Mazzella's Honolulu Mentor class. I just finished the week long intensive training and have already hit the ground running! There's just too much good things to say about Michael's training, but what I liked most about his course is that he only works with 4 people at a time max so the training sessions are very intimate and easy to grasp. This training could easily be worth 7x ( Yes, I did the math) the amount he is charging, especially since you get to be mentored pretty much one-on-one with Michael who is one of the most active and successful investors in Hawaii! On our second day of training we were already submitting offers, analyzing deals, and crunching numbers, which I would never have known how to do on my own. Just be prepared to dedicate the entire week to this course as you will get a few hours worth of homework to do every night. Like I said, the course is very intense, but by the end of the week you will be a new person, see investing in a totally new light, you WILL be a real estate investor, and a successful one at that. So if you want to be personally trained, coached, and mentored by one of Hawaii's top investors then I highly recommend Michael Mazzella and his Honolulu Mentor course...It will change you and your business. Aloha! **UPDATE** This update is a bit overdue, but since graduating from the Honolulu Mentor course two years ago I have been able to start my own real estate investment company and go full-time. I owe a lot to Michael's help, training and guidance, which continued well beyond taking his course even till this day! I think that is what sets him and his training apart from the other mass marketed seminars that come and go. read more

My husband and I learned about Michael and Honolulu Mentor after we invested thousands + dollars into Real Estate Learning with Robert Kiyosaki program. All I can say is that we wish we met Michael before we spent that money on Rich Dad's training. Michael does as great as training (or even better) at a fraction of the cost. Not only that, you can learn hand on with the local market especially that he is here locally. My experience of working with Michael is that he is a leader that leads by example. I respect that he is constantly working on himself. Michael knows his stuff. If I can save you thousand of dollars from investing crazy expensive program out there, I've done my job writing this review. Have fun with your real estate journey! read more

Want to quit the rat race? Work for yourself? Find, fix and flip ugly homes? Then sign up for Michael's next class....and hurry, he's considering soft early retirement! read more

You will learn a lot. Bring an open mind along with commitment. Michael Mazella brings you into world of real estate investing and opens your eyes. read more

Working with Michael is a Blast! Michael is high energy, motivating and makes working and learning fun. When I took his course summer 2012 I had no idea I would learn so much about real-estate investing in just 4 days. I can honestly say, Michael goes out of his way to help, teach, and mentor his students during the course. I Highly recommend Michael Mazzella's Honolulu Mentor Course. read more

We just finished the Michael Mazzella's mentoring class. This is hands down the best course anyone who is interested in becoming an real estate investor could take. Come with an opened mind and ready to soak everything in it's a lot to absorb but you will gain so much knowledge. Why not learn from someone who is in the field and actively working it. Being in Michaels class has made me have a different outlook on life and the decisions that I will make going forward. I tell myself everyday to GSD which is GET SHIT DONE!! I can do anything and everything that I set my mind to as long as I continue to work at it every single day!! read more

Let me start of by saying, Honolulu Mentor by Michael Mazzella is by far the best education I have ever gotten. I am a college graduate and let me say I have never met a more knowledgable and passionate teacher/mentor than Michael. He is really the SME of real estate investing. From the first day of his class, we hit the ground running. We witnessed deals in progress, traveled to numerous job sites in different progressions, learned everything from A to Z about real estate investing, and even learned thing not about investing but relevent. I can honestly say the tution is worth every dollar and then some. I felt I got my money's worth by the second day... and there was two days left! Even if I don't decide to go into real estate investing, Michael has taught me so much about myself, everyday situations, business, management, creative thinking, finance, strategies, etc that will help me for the rest of my life. I can't express how greatful I am to have learned from a real life pro. The knowledge I gained from this mentorship is really priceless. Thank you Michael and to all of the "Power Team" members I have met. You folks really are some special people! "This is ah good $#!T" read more

I have to say I've been to plenty courses and never felt I could pull the trigger when it was over. They just lead me on to pretty much pay thousands of dollars for the advanced class as they would say. What a joke but I said I wasn't going to give up there and that's when I found Michael. He has taught me a lot I loved how the class only consisted of 4 people. So it was a lot of time for one on one if it was needed. He was able to answer what ever question I had for him he was very knowledgeable and patient with us. I was pretty mind blown from all the information luckily I chose the weekend course I had a week for a break. Also unlike all others he's here on the island and do all sorts of deals here unlike the other investors who come then leave. I will most definitely stay in contact with him as long as I'm an investor. The best part of his training is majority of it is hands on training as well as going to properties that he is in the process with. That just shows you how real it all is. Thanks Michael you will be hearing from me soon so we can do a deal together. read more

Michael is very passionate about this business and his mentor class is very educational. We visited multiple projects that he is currently working on. During his 4-day course you learn a lot about running numbers and how to be successful. He is very experienced and talks about his failures as learning points that help him to be a better investor today. I would recommend this class to anyone who is looking into getting into real estate investing. read more

Have you ever watched HGTV and wanted to be like the people you watch flipping houses? Do you ever dream of no longer being a W-2 worker? Did you ever think about being a real estate investor? If you answered YES to any of those questions, then, you MUST sign up to spend four days with Michael Mazzella! Unlike the people you see on tv who have their deals provided to them and their projects pre-scripted, Michael is the real deal! He started as a Human Resources trainer before leaving that W-2 career to become independently successful in real estate investing on O'ahu one deal at a time. In about 14 years he has done over 200 flips in Hawaii...he is the top one-off house flip expert in Hawaii! I have known Michael for about 15 years and have watched his generous character, meticulous tenaciousness and entrepreneurial mindset in action. Although his success has come from his proven "trade secrets", Michael has chosen not to keep his systems, processes and formulas a secret! He has generously laid everything that has made him successful out in a four day mentoring course that is worth the time and investment! He literally walks you through a systematic and proven approach to real estate investing that is unparalleled. Within four days you will not only gain vast real estate investing knowledge, but you will also gain experience because he actually has you making about 30 offers on homes during the four days with him! You truly cannot get better real estate investing coaching anywhere in the entire country. I have been a real estate investor for over 15 years, but, all that I knew from my experience was still only the tip of the iceberg in comparison to all that Michael knows and shares. Michael is a long-time friend, a mentor and partner that I am so grateful for in my life because he has challenged and inspired me to reach higher and do greater! If you're looking for a friend in real estate and a mentor who is willing to partner with you for the future, you must take the time to check Michael out...I am confident you will not be disappointed! read more

This was by far the best week in my endeavors of building my financial intelligence. I had tried many different programs, including Rich Dad/Elite Legacy that offer training in real estate but really it's all theory and not practical and highly expensive. After investing in other programs, I started to get my doubts and the frustration came. But, working with Michael Mazzella this week TOTALLY changed all of that for me. The things I learned really empowered me and gave I left each day feeling more confident in putting in offers and just jumping in deeper. It's really a no bs course; you're not just sitting around talking about theory; you're actually getting out there and applying the knowledge and the tools! The work in the course challenges you and gives you a lot more practice with understanding the entire industry. It's an amazing program that's FULL of all the empowerment you need to reach your financial goals. He doesn't just throw you out there afterwards either, he opens his entire team up to you. Taking this course came at the right time for me. It exceeded my expectations. I left with a renewed sense of focus and determination because now I didn't just have a bunch of theory, I had actual facts, resources, phone numbers, figures, was able to look at real deals, and possibly the BEST training out there! Michael's course was 10 TIMES better than Rich Dad/Elite Legacy!! Here you get the REAL DEAL! All Killer, No Filler! read more
