Welcome @Christopher Mcfarland!

Glad to hear you're investing on Kauai! Hoping the current Condo you have under contract goes through! If you have any questions about the investment market here on Kauai, I'm happy to help.

Aloha Kellen!! Looking forward to joining you. I’m looking at this thread on the mobile app and don’t see a location or time. Where and when will this Meetup take place? Mahalo for coordinating! Greg Horn

@Pat Jackson happy to talk to you about Kauai any time!

Aloha Adam! I agree with Harjeet. If you're going to be living in one of the two dwellings on the Kauai property, you'll likely be able to find a loan where you can put down less than 20%. If you're ok with paying mortgage insurance and having the higher mortgage payment, this is the way I would suggest you go. Have you spoken to a lender here on Kauai? I'm happy to put you in touch with someone I work closely with who can help you look specifically at your options based on your exact situation to help you find what's right for you. Also, if you're not already working with a Realtor, I'd love to help you find the right place. I work with many investor clients and am regularly scouring the Kauai market for two-dwelling properties such as what you're looking for. Please feel free to call me or Direct Message me so I can send you properties you'd be interested in. Mahalo, Greg

Eric Wong unfortunately, I don't have any experience with Squeaky Clean or anyone else who does cleaning and handling of check-in. Generally, a property manager would handle check-in, maintenance and everything else and then work with a cleaning team. I hope that helps.

I find this is a great article to educate my clients about leasehold opportunities: http://www.hawaiibusiness.com/leasehold-properties-a-deal-or-a-drain/

Aloha Eric Wong ! What Jon Crosby said is spot on. Also, are you at all familiar with leasehold properties and what that means? If you're not, please look into it as you may be sacrificing many of the long-term benefits of property ownership. Finally, have you vetted local (Kauai) cleaning crews and utility prices and other prices? As you may know, business operates much differently here than other places. If I may ask, who are you working with on the ground here on Kauai? I primarily work with investors here on Kauai and would be happy to help in any way that I can. I can give you some more direct feedback about this property and others. Please don't hesitate to call or email me. Mahalo! Greg

Aloha @Dominik Makaneole! Thanks for joining the BP community. I'd love to provide some insight after working with a number of investors doing similar projects here on Kauai. Funny enough, similar to @Nick G., I'm getting married here on Kauai on July 22, so I wouldn't be able to get together until at least August. Nick, would love to catch up when you're here in October!
