@Joe Gellenbeck Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

As a licensed contractor, I can provide insights to make sure you’re getting the best value and quality for your project.

Respond within minutes to each one, as tenants often go with the first responsive option.Ensure you have high-quality photos that make your property stand out against the competition.

I don't know how difficult of a task this would be, but suspect it would make for better quality forum content. 

Too bad you can't buy something owner-occupied, put 5% down with the best interest rate, live in it for 12 months (and fix it up), rent it out and repeat the cycle.Here's some other info you might find useful:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Fund higher quality cosmetic / light rehab for durability and dignity for tenants.

Goes back to that original thesis in a thread long time ago-- quality over quantity.

You can go to Redfin or Zillow and see the level of finish houses with short DOM have in the area, can you at least match that quality?

Lei, I'd be happy to serve you any way I can.For Ko'olina, I love the Beach Villas (as well as the entire Ko'olina area) and if you are primarily looking for a very quality property for you and your family to use, I'd recommend it.  

Btw, I learned about this from a book about the career of Harold Helmsley (pre Leona!)
