I’m eager to connect with individuals who are experienced in real estate investing so I can grow and develop on this new path.

It does feel like there is likely a major market correction coming, but due to limited inventory of vacation-rentable units in Maui I feel like I should be somewhat more protected from the effects of said recession.

Aha yeah I dont really trust flippers to do the repairs correctly - Even with my own flip I was tempted to cheap out on it but you always pay for it in the end!

Is any of the above, correct?

@Sarah Brown That is not correct.

If you spend it now, you lose your leverage for the rest of the lease, and you'll have nothing to handle unpaid rent, cleaning, or repairs after termination.You are starting down a dangerous path.

So sticks to path of progress, real top shelf A quality properties.

In the last five years, I’ve had close to 10 investor clients who either became real estate agents or had their spouses do so—because they were certain they already knew enough to handle it on their own.From here, I’ve seen things go in two directions.One path is overconfidence: they rush out, buy properties, and quickly get themselves into trouble.

I'm assuming you're referring to residential (SF and MF) properties that are vacant, is that correct?
