So while I greatly appreciate all the different methods of making money with real estate and even more impressed with all the hustlers that grind here in this community, I just need properties that I can get at a good deal that cash flow and appreciate while minimizing the trouble commonly associated with real estate. 

The 'good guys' on here can help the newbies by pointing out the very obvious trolls......Just my $0.02 I think if we have active moderators and active community to help put them back in the bag it will be fine as well.

Hey BP community!

Yes of course its price can be more volatile and can go down faster than real estate would but long term it appreciates and pays every month.Curious on BP communities thoughts..

Greetings BP community, I recently joined a national senior care living development team.

This is an amazing community for learning and growing in real estate investing. 

Does anybody have any recommendations on small/community banks that they like to work with?  

BP Community! 

Like mentioned it's also beneficial to keep up to date with what's happening in the area your STR is located, and make sure the decision makers are aware of hosts and what they bring to the community.

Hawaiian real estate law differs from other western states significantly, mostly due to its monarchal heritage and the Bishop Trust influence.The basics are the same as would be in California; determine the condition of title ownership (individual(s), estate (including conservatorship, if appropriate) OR fiduciary acting for trust.Use a qualified private money equity lender to make a loan sufficient to buy out the cash-only beneficiaryThe legal community in HI and Big Island in particular is small.
