I would rather invest in safe markets that produce a good return, then I can use that income to pay for a vacation anywhere in the world.I'm very pessimistic about the STR market in Hawaii.

I can’t imagine the returns you would have to generate. 22% federal tax, plus 8% state tax, plus 10% penalty.

@Chris Seveney - I asked Chat GPT about the correlation between Real Estate Syndicator time spent on social media, and the likely correlation to investment returns :).

When you start raising money, the kinds of investors you're going to get are individuals who want to make a better return than the stock market. 

Starting local offers hands-on experience and control, ideal for learning the ropes, while out-of-state investments can provide better returns but require a reliable property manager.

You will want enough return for the deal to support itself or you won't be able to scale well.

Within 5-10 years you should have been able to pull out your entire investment tax free and earn an infinite return. 

You can get a much better return on your investment elsewhere and with $500k you can buy 3 homes or a 4 unit.
