If you are looking to purchase an STR in Hawaii, take a close look at the data.

I'm currently in process of purchasing a home in Kyoto, Japan and wanted to connect with other US Citizens who also own investment properties in Japan.

When I look back real estate investing and rehabbing houses is akin to games I enjoyed playing as a child.

My goal is to purchase 15 units in the next 5 years, and produce a cash flow of $20k per month within the next 10 years.  

I personally learned I enjoy local investing in residential properties.

Meet with a local banker & schedule a time to talk with a mortgage broker, they'll give you at least a baseline of what kind of down payment options and rates are out there.After that, if you're still wanting to research more creative options, do some looking into seller financing (a very hot topic with good, and bad, advice out there), look into private lenders, and commercial financing options.If you're wanting to live in 1/4 of your quadplex, then conventional residential loans may in fact be your best option as you can purchase that with a fannie/freddy loan with very low down, and use up to 75% of the income from the property toward your own income. 

Hey Todd, that’s a real juggling act you’ve got.. balancing one home in Florida with another new purchase in Oregon.

This can be especially appealing for those who enjoy traveling or seeking occasional getaways.

Enjoy the journey!

So, make sure YOU understand the copy & paste info below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
