Hey Csingh, A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.

Makes sense :) So far, I've been bumping the listing up (because of the off season) but looking at the other rentals stats, it's apparent that people have been setting a date a bit further.

I had thought about some type of sub-metering solution as well, but it seems like there is really no good way to do that.Our other buildings are duplexes where it was relatively easy/made sense to separate the heating systems.

That all makes sense.

If it is smaller family-owned business, see if it makes sense to offer a Defined Benefit Plan.

Typically in Kihei the 1 beds offer a better cash on cash return but if you need a 2 bed for personal use that would make sense . 

If done well, it means you can refinance and use that capital for your next investment—helping you move more quickly towards your goal of creating enough cash flow to change your work/life balance.Market Opportunity: Given the current market in some areas, you can still find deals that make sense for BRRRR, though they do take some effort to locate and execute.

At a high level, this is generally the path people take - we see a lot of people have success in this route - start building the portfolio with banks, low down payments, and then **generally** when you hit around 5 or so properties - it starts to make sense to switch over to LLCs, its too hard to qualify/deal with paperwork of banks and switch towards private lenders like DSCR Loans - (LLC friendly, easier) to scale past 5 or so.

I wish I had enough sense to have started that early. 

But with the election and the time of year, it makes sense.
