just last tuesday I checked bread was 6 dollar something in sack n'save ; the price is not too different than bay area except I could buy a poke in a smaller container and that's enough for few days.Also some city in Hawaii is still considerably very affordable like Hilo and Pahoa and arguably IMO is best little town in US, it's the relaxing and slow daily life that's hard to beat. what I like about Hawaii is it's the closest vibe to south east Asia without having to stay in south east Asia.  

Before I make a purchase, I want to make sure I'm choosing the right product.

That killed (along with the recovered market) my company's program, but probably saved billions in US tax dollars since people routinely overpay for housing product.

There are other investor products available to where you do not need tax returns to qualify.  

Some products allow up to 85% loan to value. 

Key is make sure you have a good surveyor and title company. s far as being ready all about the market in that most people who purchase either one of these products are not interested in any maintenance and would rather pay monthly dues. 

One owner is looking to exit to middle to high sevens on yield on cost.Cap exits are high 5’s, low 6’s for some Class A product.Turnover cost projections should escalate: $500 first year, $850 second year, $1000 third year.Consolidation and density of BFR assets can be an issue for insurance companies.

@Ken Brown, I am a litigator and primarily defend companies in products liability litigation. 

And are they production builders that to provide the product at the cost they do use basically the least expensive materials possible and beat the crap out the subs pricing.so there is a fine line there you cant pay low price and expect supreme product..

Navajo white-Sherwin Williams (IMO a little bit yellow beige)  or Maison Blanche @ Lowes-is the Sherwin Williams/HGTV product they sell (IMO a little more beige/taupe)
