Hi @Courtney Barnes - It is doable but the area is getting saturated. 

I wish Big Bear was doable but thats way too far of a drive, although I do love it there myself.

Do you think this would be doable without having to jump through a ton of hoops? 

I would prefer not to be a landlord, especially since I live 2 hrs away in NY, but it is technically doable.

IMO snubbing any way in which one can get a deal makes no sense to me cause any way you go it's going to be competitive but in the end it's the one who follows up the best ends up with the deal most of the time.In other words if you snooze you lose!

.- However, the thing that makes Hawaii very doable is that the cost of flying is cheap, from CA one way the cost is $90-$200 depending on the season. - Every Hawaiian Island is very different from one to another, and between towns is also a bit different.

Not sure if that's even doable. 

Definitely doable though.

Hi Louis, As others have mentioned it is doable considering the numbers make sense and your lender can support the BRRRR into a mid term. 

@Gregory WalterWhen people are referring to those kind of numbers they are using the original list price(HUD Appraised Value) For example :$100000 Original list price$81000 Current List price after 2 10% reductions so the property has been on the market for 60+ days$56000 Accepted Bid So the bid was 56% of list priceThis was doable in some parts of the country and I have had bids accepted much lower than that.  8-10 years ago I had several under 10% of the Original list priceAs I said earlier, I am not seeing any of this.
