I prefer using gas as you will also be able to use it for your range, and most people prefer that for cooking.

AND there aren't many note buyers who will buy notes with large balances in the range you mention. 

I would just excavate a few 2'x2'x2' (or larger if possible) spot footings, w rebar and Simpson hardware,under the house (you will want to take up the floor to make this easier to do).

Thus, there is now a possibility that Honolulu County will change the minimum rental period (for non STR properties) to 90 days.  

If you can’t do a 1031 to a non-income tax state, figure out a year when you will have lower income and tax rates ar as low as possible.

After repair value is $100k-$170k (based on comps in the neighborhood, the range is large since the layout is a bit weird where the primary bathroom is in a bedroom). 

A general range tends to be 85% to 100% covered.

There are still a few that will give you a loan but the traditional 90% of purchase price and 100% of rehab might not be possible without an exception.

And talking with my leasing team, the properties that are moving quicker are on the lower end of the rental range $1450-1600.
