I want IN on the BIG ISLAND!

[Lauren Ruppert]

I've been to Hawaii four times in the last 5 years. I love the Big Island. I am devising a plan to purchase something. What I want to know, is it really worth it to own a STR on the Big Island? Prices are rather steep, and I can't see how people are making money vs. the obligations associated with STR...and the high mortgage. Lease hold, HOA, etc... seem steep to me.

All comments are welcome!

Laura,

Check out my BP post about the best markets to invest in STRs for 2023, where I devoted a section to Wakiki, Hawaii.
