I believe this was discussed in the bigger pockets podcast with Amanda Han, a real estate CPA.

@Hana Moorscaudle I've used Travelers and safeco for my DFW 4 plex

Hey Hana - I had a contact I’ll try and dig up but I didn’t end up needing them. 

Quote from @Hana N.: I have 150k in my Heloc.I am considering three investment options before me as I look at:A. 

Thanks, Hana

I also like buying them in locations with very few vacation rentals, like Hana or the N shore, to ensure high occupancy.Managing them myself allows me to keep 25% more income.

@Hana RaIf you want feel free to PM me and we'll discuss from there. 

Quote from @Hana N.: My current mortgage is $2,500 and I can rent the home for $3,000.I think you're making a mistake.

Make sure you have a clear structure in mindhave you been to maui, lived on the island, worked on the islandI lasted 4 months, it would have been great if I was retired with passive income, I would have stayed in hana after I worked on the school therethe traffic to and from kihei to Lahaina was to much for me, the place is beautiful but that traffic is to much for me, the people I worked with in hana were the greatest peopleyou need to find something you can invest in that's not going to end up like a houseboat timeshare- know what I meanenjoy
