Some embrace it for the extra return.. but they have the time to do so and the mind set or patience to work through them..

Look at year round tourism numbers.

All too often you will run into residential realtors that are more concerned with their reputation among their real estate community and will not adequately embrace a investors business mentality.

You have two primary market forces in Guam - the US Military and tourism.  

@Alan Ford The fires caused 2500 cabins to burn down but tourism has been up 1m per year for the last three years.  

Hopefully they start to reopen June 1 but I am concerned at how long it will take all the supporting business (restaurants, PMs, housekeepers, etc.) to staff up to really support the tourism influx once it comes.

There has been an uptick in outdoor recreation-based tourism there over the past few years (many of Colorado's 14ers are nearby), but the economy is still largely dependent on the Climax mine, which is dependent on the global demand for steel so it experiences large boom and bust cycles.

I would not be too quick to judge the recovery of the tourism industry on the island until the season gets into full-swing.

What I am talking about is a mindset shift, of embracing doing what it takes to get what you want.Instead of "WHY would strangers trust me with their money" it becomes "HOW do I structure mutually-beneficial deals so others WANT to give me their money." 

I'm buy and hold with Vassar Hospital, Marist expansion and tourism; it will be a good rental.
