hi all,I'm a rookie investor, have a couple of properties that cash flow well.

Companies know where they will be treated well and where they are not wanted.

The problem is that there isn't a lot out there, and when looked into each comp extensively, I saw the numbers were deflated because they were 'as-is' properties with extensive damage, or properties with a well, and other mis-matched differences.

I feel like the builder had to have known this.

I think you're doing quite well given the location. 

Well no kidding!

We added value by investing $45,000 in well-planned renovations, modernizing key areas, enhancing curb appeal, and ensuring market-ready quality.

Most importantly, learn how to manage it well so you don't squander your investment.

Aloha @Daniel Kam - most of Kakaako has a 180 day rental minimum, so if you haven't checked with your building association, I recommend you verify what the minimum rental period is for your building.If you are allowed to rent for less than 180 days, you will then need to apply for a GET license, and well as TAT/OTAT and pay the appropriate taxes on a regular basis.  

I had a guest cancel as well and my cleaner refunded the fee from their invoice no problem.
