Thanks Colin.

@Bryan La

Are there other cities that you have an "unfair advantage" in such as a relative that's a contractor, a college classmate now employed as a lending officer, a close friend that can be your boots on the ground, etc. Having an advantage in a market imo is more important than picking the perfect market on paper.

Remington Lyman, an investor-friendly realtor, is outstanding in Columbus, OH - would suggest you read posts in which he replies.

Good luck!

Mahalo Steven, asked questions 1 and 3, will follow up with #2.  Appreciate your generous knowledge share!

Mahalo Drew, it's appreciated.  

I'm looking for a Property Manager to manage newer 3/2 SFH in Cimarron Hills. Realtor gave me three recommendations: Empower Realty Team, Crystal Pines Property Management and Brinkleys Property Solutions. Honestly, all three seem really good after I reviewed their websites and spoke with them on the phone. However, as an OOS, I'd really appreciate peoples' first-hand opinions. Thank you.

Way to go!

It's a good idea.  Shop around to get better interest rate/terms.  Ideally credit union over big bank.  Good luck!

Doug, good questions, but an attorney would answer better than I can.  Litigation is proceeding despite covid.  Mediation could be encouraged, but not mandated (unless part of contract).  Good mediators also charge accordingly.  

sent you a DM.  Good luck.  Of the two recommendations I made, call Hioki first.

Potential no-cost option is non-profit Lawyers for Equal Justice.  Tom Helper, Esq., formerly a U.S. Attorney, has been in the press a good bit.  You can get his email address off their website.

Maintenance fees are quite high in Hawaii. Several visiting friends over the years looked into purchasing a STR here ans were turned off by high minthly majntenance fees. Special assessments are another common issue - older buildings underfunded to replace/reapir elevator can be a serious problem. There's a building that's pretty much the owners are screwed. Internal elevator installed for out door elevator use - suffice to say its a money pit nightmare. Check the age of the building and if it has fire sprinklers. Marco Polo high rise fire raised this issue locally - cost to put fire sprinklers into older building is a real issue. hope this helps. Like any city gotta research a lot. Not trying to discourage anyone, but most local white collar investors are investing out of state that I personally know.
