Evening, I am in the process of acquiring a short to mid term rental in the somewhat local vacation/ tourist destinations in my region.

I'm unsure of how that would work since I would need the current owner to vacate.

I'm particularly passionate about long term rental and fix and flip.Outside of real estate, I enjoy watching sports, I am an insurance broker.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Stick with Mortgage note syndication returns of 9-12 range out of the gate and enjoy the annuity.  

Thinking about using it for our family’s summer “vacation home” and short term rental when we are not using it.

I provide private lending for Fix/Flip and BRRR projects.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife, twin boys and golden retriever.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

The answer to me is either high end sales or vacation rentals. 

I have quite a few clients who self manage their vacation rentals from the mainland.Here is info directly off state of Hawaii website pertaining to vacation rentals (bold in mine):  If you’re off-island, you’ll need to designate a local contact who resides on the same island as the transient accommodation.

Since you are using the property and renting, you'd want to look into a second home or vacation rental loan programs.

Perhaps you want a “vacation home” and will also rent that out while you are not using it?
