A deal is unique to all.

The exception is unique housings like in the Redwood forest, beach viewing properties on a tree.

So the reason I bring this up is that PCS orders to Hawaii offer such a unique advantage if used right.

Extremely interested in real estate investing and the "architect as developer" form of practice (check out what Jonathan Segal is doing www.jonathansegalarchitect.com/ ) @Jared W Smith, I have the same question as Jonathan... how are our unique skillsets applicable in this space?

But as for the appraisal report... our future tenants didn't help much with their decor...one tenant is a hoarder and the other decorated their unit in "horror" motif...

My point is that even with steady occupancy, getting $50K per year is not typical outside of a super touristy area with tons of amenities, and an entire place property that is immaculately decorated.

Staking out the permitting process is an interesting and unique concept.

The house is in an older part of town and has presented some unique challenges over the years. 

I found an area that is very unique, an island with no cars, and the real estate is surprisingly affordable.

This was a very unique situation that turned out awesome for everyone involved.
