You should have a robust insurance policy.

Are there any realtors in HI that can speak to how robust the Honolulu market is?

Currently, the contractor is demanding $44K upfront to resume work and complete the occupancy permit, promising to discuss the additional costs afterward.

For something more robust, tools like Excel or online calculators from financial planning sites might better suit your needs.Your ROI Formula:ROI = (Net Cash Flow ÷ Total Out-of-Pocket Investment) × 100For your scenario:Net Cash Flow = Annual Rental Income - (Mortgage Payment + 401k Loan Payment + Other Expenses)Total Out-of-Pocket Investment = $40,000 cash + $50,000 loan payments over 5 years.I came across a piece in Bloomberg recently discussing creative financing, and they touched on ROI calculations for multiple loans.Personal anecdote: A buddy of mine leveraged a 401k loan for a fourplex.

If you’d been holding around $620K from a 2019 sale and directed it toward a few properties like that.. especially if you leveraged financing.. you might’ve grown your portfolio’s total value well beyond what many Los Angeles holdings would have delivered over the same period.Then again, L.A. still has that unique mix of robust demand and limited supply.. from what I’ve heard, you can see impressive long-term gains there if you’re comfortble navigating tenant protections.

I did some work in Corvallis and thought about investing in that area as well...just seems like Eugene would have a more robust market.

Tenant must prove the following:1) they are unemployed2) if unemployed, they must show their unemployment insurance statements and small business protection statements (because a lot of them are getting more money in unemployment and some also get the small business protection paychecks from their employers)3) if so, they must pay 50% in rent each month or should get kicked out within a month; heck 50% of unemployment check should go directly to the landlord or mortgage company so don't let the tenant be the one to decide if they want to pay out or not4) but with the money, they should voluntarily move into a smaller, cheaper part of town instead of staying put (common sense is that when you lose your job, you send out resumes looking for another job while collecting unemployment and also looking to move and downsize to a smaller, cheaper place); you don't stay put and be a squatter5) they must show their bank statements (checking, savings, retirement accounts, etc.); any money they have in there must go towards paying 50% of rent as well6) if they are short on all the above, they must move in with family / relative / brother / sister / parent, etc.7) the only situation when they have a right to be a squatter is when they can prove that they will be homeless if evicted and have no one to turn to and no money in the bank (but whoever gets to this situation is a lousy manager of money and don't know how to live within their means while employed)
