@Kobe CarrDallas offers benefits for first-time real estate investors, including a growing economy, diverse property types, affordable suburbs, landlord-friendly laws, and strong rent demand.

Antioch is a solid area to focus on for a very diverse range of deals. 

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

And then everyone can make their own judgement with the information presentedThat's what makes our community here so great, the diversity of experiences and opinions, and allowing anyone free access to see and participate in the discourse and make their own opinions!

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.

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

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.

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

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

Nice to meet you Renee,This question is very difficult to answer without understanding end goals.
