I always show them how it DOES exist, just not on their MLS and then I tell them to expand their horizons. 

starting your REI journey there in Honolulu would let you participate in the high-value market (which has more impressive numbers, especially in a 30 year horizon), but the downside would be that you'd participate in a more cyclic than linear market, which is more speculative in nature and subject to the whims and ways of many factors outside our control.

My guess is it's a 20 horizon for a fully recognized turnaround in the area similar to Oakhurst.

I have strongly considered it, but at very conservative leverage ratios, and only in a manner in which I take a very cautious view of the potential what ifs on the horizon.

@Michael Ablan , yes, we have different “horizons”, which is why I mentioned my age early on.

I have investment experience in the stock market and I am looking to expand my investment horizons and diversify my streams of income.

Each step you take reveals a new horizon.

IRR is also function of time, you need to state how long your investment horizon is. 

I have had good success lately with targeting a specific market to get a message to, I just wanted to broaden my horizons.

Looks like a trip to Denver is on my horizon.
