Some people go to Lake Lewisville/Dallas/Grapevine, but I don't hear about them spending the night and there are pretty limited options right on the water.I still hear a few people going up to Broken Bow/Hochatown, but that talk is way way down since about 2021. 

As far as I can tell Airbnb does not yet offer that capability in Hawaii.I met with a few agents and cleaners while on island and their feedback was that it should be cash flowing nicely without any major repairs or upgrades.

(I think this is realistic because many property with the same sq footage in the area with upgrades are going close to 600K).

These can be further broken down into lender closing costs and third party closing costs.Thelender closing costs can include underwriting fee, processing fee, funding fee, origination fee, credit report fee, and tax service fee among others.

You find the house completely trashed with missing appliances and cabinets, tenants were cooking meth, windows broken, etc. 6-8 months of unpaid rent, unpaid utilities, thousands to empty the abandoned property and trash, $50,000 to completely renovate the property and make it rentable again, plus all the time, energy, and stress along the way.I would actually argue this is pretty common and not even the worst-case scenario. 

Efficiency Maine has programs that offer rebates for multifamily upgrades: https://www.efficiencymaine.com/at-work/multifamily/ .

Half the time, the course is like buyer beware, sorry, let's try an upgraded program for you.I think seeing the posts and votes can help new people to the "family" discern at least who has been here for a while and who is assisting others.

If the hard drive is broken.

To me, by definition investments can be broken down in the financial side and the time side.  

With the right maintenance and upgrades you could sell it for a decent profit after.
