I'm considering investing in STR in Hawaii to diversify my investment portfolio (mainly for capital appreciation) as well as it being a regular vacation place for my family.

Most (virtually all) are giving values below the main ppsf. 

This is why this method is so powerful.  

Mainly because if I used that metric alone I would not have done my last 10 successful flips. 

While not my main area of practice I represented a Brooklyn credit union lender, some buyers/sellers and a few landlords in real estate transactions and rent arrears cases.While we had successes and some failures along the way I ultimately concluded that I wanted to do something different with my life and cashed out of the business.

As a powerful organization, I would like to see Bigger Pockets become a leader in not simply educating real estate investors but leading the way in warning investors about the real estate guru pitfalls.  

My main focus is understanding motels and their operational dynamics.If you’ve invested in or operated a property like this, I’d love to hear from you.

The main issue is a consistent lack of effective management and oversight.

Quote from @Reid Ferguson: @Jonathan Abradothe course content is pretty thorough and there are lots of side videos that have started up to support info in the main videos.

Separate HVAC systems are a good idea too—makes things easier for tenants and utility billing.I’d also recommend talking to a contractor or local utility company about what’s needed for separate power meters and mailboxes.
