It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

As the owner, you should also be more flexible about how nice the basement is - saving you rehab costs. 

It does need maintenance at least once a year with Leather Food or the like to keep it nice.

@Cassidy Burns runs a great one which is a nice blend of education and networking.

(I couldn’t find if that was a nice gradual increase or mostly done in 1-2 years.)

The other side of the line would be someone looking for a nice place to live and just subsidize their housing costs with adjoining unit(s) rents.

As far as I can tell Airbnb does not yet offer that capability in Hawaii.I met with a few agents and cleaners while on island and their feedback was that it should be cash flowing nicely without any major repairs or upgrades.

Also, a 2 minute video walk through can be nice to have for anyone wanting a more in depth tour.

The finishes are really quite nice but believe it or not there are absolutely no windows it is a concrete prison.

I would keep that low interest rate and the cash flow as a nice cushion to enjoy when times get rough.
