As the owner, you should also be more flexible about how nice the basement is - saving you rehab costs. 

Hey Michael,Appreciation potential due to economic dev/population growth/job growth.MTR / Corporate rental ratesMore velocity potential on our $$ in 2025. 

I’m 20 years old and live independently, fully supporting myself with a full-time job.

As far as I can tell Airbnb does not yet offer that capability in Hawaii.I met with a few agents and cleaners while on island and their feedback was that it should be cash flowing nicely without any major repairs or upgrades.

@Cassidy Burns runs a great one which is a nice blend of education and networking.

The other side of the line would be someone looking for a nice place to live and just subsidize their housing costs with adjoining unit(s) rents.

It does need maintenance at least once a year with Leather Food or the like to keep it nice.

Then got a new better job in Atlanta area and rented the house I was living in Greenville.Up to here I had no education on real estate.

Also, a 2 minute video walk through can be nice to have for anyone wanting a more in depth tour.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.
