To get started - I’d recommend connecting with local STR investors and researching Hawaii’s regulations.

I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in planning.

The best way to get through the door with subs is a recommendation/connection from someone they respect.

These are usually from personal connections we have made through the years and the investors usually want proof of experience to participate in any deals.Can you recommend any lenders in particular for SBLOC product?

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

Is there a good website theme template to use that anyone can recommend?

@Carl RowlesI recommend a HELOC or Heloan on your primary residence or the rental if you have enough equity in either.

Are there any key resources, platforms, or strategies you’d recommend for a beginner? 

I would only recommend purchasing items that fall into that vision. 

I'm a little biased (am the owner) but seriously pumped to see you recommending it.
