While the low tax rate and exemptions are enticing, it is important to consider that the average house in Hawaii is more expensive in comparison to other state averages.

I see no deposit more common on the C class properties but some owners give tenants items like a free TV's or a gift card to Walmart to entice them in.

I'd take a close look at how they split the note if they did.Check the collateral, condition and upkeep and value it.I generally find issues with family notes as they are often not really done at arm's length.About the only way out of a fully amortized not is to reduce the principal to entice the borrower to refi it (unless there is a default) and selling it will require a good discount in most cases.

I the above is true then the only way I see enticing people is maybe a month free if you sign a years lease.
