Best bet would be a “partnership” with a monied individual looking for a high risk/high return passive investment with you providing the “active” part.  

I bet we would have made around $100k as a wholesale.

I have a feeling we'll see a LOT more progress like this out in LA! 

“Is this really in the path of progress?”  

But if they gov't changes to a 90 day minimum, you would have to operate as a 90 day rental or longer.And talking to local experts, if you want to own a STR on O'ahu, your safest bet is to buy a unit in a Condotel that is located in the "Resort" zone of Waikiki.  

That’s the best bet.

Airbnb gives you the best bet at getting both. 

agree .. other wise its just the bottom feeders looking to take his equity from him  with couching it as a rescue.. his best bet it to sell if its owner occ the profit is tax free .. regroup and start over.. 

If you could furnish the rooms, I'd say that is best bet for cash flow.

Do you need or want monthly cashflow, tax write-offs, betting on appreciation,....
