I have been in real estate full time since 2012, started investing in Sober Living homes in 2019 and we now have 62 of them across 14 different states.

But what about using a different way?

I know this is a differing topic on the forums, and online in general, but having the legal background/education and knowing estate planning concepts you'll realize it shouldn't be.  

Hawaiian real estate law differs from other western states significantly, mostly due to its monarchal heritage and the Bishop Trust influence.The basics are the same as would be in California; determine the condition of title ownership (individual(s), estate (including conservatorship, if appropriate) OR fiduciary acting for trust.Use a qualified private money equity lender to make a loan sufficient to buy out the cash-only beneficiaryThe legal community in HI and Big Island in particular is small.

Completetly different markets 

Look at the results in multiple ways and over different time horizons.

There are so many different strategies within the venue space that I am surprised also that there are not more investors talking about it. 

I would encourage you to learn the market you plan to invest in now and to continue to learn about the different methods of investing.

Is there a significant amount of difference between what you can buy a fix for and what you can sell the finished flip at?

Starting with the right location can make all the difference, even if it’s outside your immediate area.Best of luck with your investment journey!
