But if they gov't changes to a 90 day minimum, you would have to operate as a 90 day rental or longer.And talking to local experts, if you want to own a STR on O'ahu, your safest bet is to buy a unit in a Condotel that is located in the "Resort" zone of Waikiki.  

I'd love to talk and get you an offer on it!

I hadn't read the Baltimore story before...wow.Hi Sathiya, some thoughts: - attend in person meet ups in the Boston area to talk to other investors who buy locally and out of state to get their feedback and maybe consider looking within a 2 to 3 hour drive. - cash flow is difficult now with long term rentals even if you pick markets that have lower purchase prices than Boston.

You, good sir, have NO CLUE what you are talking about. 

You can get in and talk to the mayor or city council to get a feel for what is going on plus voice your opinions. 

We are talking, underwritten properties that pencil out.  

If you want to talk more in depth feel free to reach out and we can discuss more. 

I started with Ken McElroy's books, because 1) clearly he knows what he is talking about given his track record and trajectory and 2) because I had easy access to them. 

Because just those costs can run you close to $75-100k if you hit any snags.I love talking about investments and I love the Packwood area, if you want to dig in more, I would be happy to jump on a call!

It sounds like they have been paying, maybe talking to them about your concerns can help them better meet your expectations.
