Yes as long as you know the precise legal description and the format. 

Precisely because of the paths of progress, the emerging middle class, the fast growing tourism and the unregulated nature of short-term rentals that are absent in the more mature markets.

Don't even think about trying to STR a SFH. precisely, it's not hard to decipher the trajectory of what the "gov" wants, especially in Hawaii, they are okay with str, as long as it's in a condo within a resort zone.Also, I am only interested to invest where the beach or tidepool is only 5 meters away from my position, investing in front beach SF is extremely risky and expensive, doesn't matter if it's in HI or FL. 

They will provide a very precise list of materials, costs and timeline as well as show up in a clean or organized vehicle, with quality tools and likely can't get to the job right away because their services are in demand and their schedule is filled with past, current and future satisfied clients.You'll speak to at least 2-3 people or companies that can do the work, but only one or two that should. 

I own a Self Storage in College Station,TX , STR in Fredericksburg,TX and a small MHP, that will convert to a 'tiny home park' [ park model RV park to be precise with some smaller single wides] in NWArkansas- Fayetteville-Bentonville Area

It just really burns that I potentially wasted not only my time, but the realtors time searching and viewing - when I specifically asked for a careful review for pre-approval to avoid precisely this situation. 

I don't know much about KC, but can tell you that I'm in a few out of state markets precisely because the Steamboat area is too expensive.If you have any interest, PM me and I can get you on the mailing list for our local real estate meetup - we typically meet once a month (lately, on Zoom)...

The most important thing is to hire someone with extensive real estate experience, and particularly with precisely the kind of deals you are doing.I actually have experience with this, as when I first started my company I outsourced bookkeeping to a company in India to save costs.  

@Ken Boone I probably should have been more precise, in saying that I would own the land of that about 30% of that road is on.

@Bill Brandt I guess I now know not to expect any kind of precision from appraisals.
