Let me know if you want to get connected with data and resources in the area. 

If you are looking to purchase an STR in Hawaii, take a close look at the data.

We are leaning towards buying in the new area if we love it with some W2 income that we will set aside.  

Better to look at data.

And that data will come from MLS Avaliable lots etc etc..

Here is the rental analysis data on how we came to $1,610 per unit and, when manually comp we find that's dang accurate for 4br.

I did not do a separate criminal background check as I trusted the info from Zillow (Big lesson learned never to trust the Zillow data again in life).

I would recommend keeping all of the data in one sheet and using filters to narrow down. 

Figured there would be a few data points left out of the equation' that I would need to circle back with :) .There are additional units not rented at this time which could be rented to increase the income.

There are a lot of good meetups for real estate investors in the area that would be good to grow your network and learn from others that are and have been in your shoes as a new investor, message me and I can share on some specific monthly meetups.Also sharing some multifamily data, this is Boston proper so it has an interesting trend compared to the rest of Massachusetts.
