That is all changing with the development The Pearl, which will also increase the demand for MTR as there will be more students, doctors, etc. coming to the city for months at a time. 

So, I suspect his "whole idea" should be even less well received now, per Steve's pearl of wisdom two years ago.Here's the link: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Perhaps read both sides of the argument there, before reinventing the wheel here?...

I am currently active duty military serving at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hawaii.

Estimated Completion- 2025The Pearl:Atrium Health, in collaboration with Wexford Science & Technology, is spearheading the development of the Pearl Innovation District.

You should certainly plan on coming to the monthly meet ups, which are the second Wednesday of the month at Pearl Street Grill downtown.

My philosophy is to buy in the continental U.S., use the money made here to travel other places.There are too many potential problems that could arise that would be out of my control.That's just how I see it.

When any little hiccup comes along that most of us did not financially prepare for we Demand the GuvMint do something, like my stock portfolio dropped 25% today in 10/87, so drop interest rate to Zero, thanks Maestro Greenspan, or again in 3/2000 when Yahoo.com didn't somehow grow into its projected 30 trillion dollar market cap based on its PE of 700, drop rates to Zero and keep 'em there for 22 years except for brief interludes of sanity (inflation got above 2%), or in 2008 when no one with a pension fund in America took any damn responsibility/oversight and gave their retirement funds to crooks to buy whatever ratings agency rubber stamped dogshit inverse synthetic CDO they could get a commission on, then were shocked, laying on their fainting couch clutching their pearls when the financial system reliably imploded, so drop rates to Zero again and start Monetizing/printing the debt, and now with the most predicted pandemic in history, Americans hadn't saved a damn cent so we cried to the GuvMint, send us 7 Trillion dollars now, I need a new Lambo!

I do not live in the continental U.S, so any investment would be OOS for me.

@Pearl Cook We started our first build after several rehabs, and my husband enjoys building new much more.

Lemme get this straight: I have no control when I have a highly liquid, fungible, instrument bottomed on hundreds, if not thousands, of assets across a continental or even global geography, and many asset classes, and I can buy or sell at a moment's notice.I DO have lots of control, however,when I buy a single asset class in the form of an illiquid, unfungible, single asset class that is highly localized, and subject to the whim and caprice of economically ignorant people and those who cater to them.No.
