Now the island has limited owners to one guest per month.

On Long Island 250k won’t buy you a house.

Hawaiian real estate law differs from other western states significantly, mostly due to its monarchal heritage and the Bishop Trust influence.The basics are the same as would be in California; determine the condition of title ownership (individual(s), estate (including conservatorship, if appropriate) OR fiduciary acting for trust.Use a qualified private money equity lender to make a loan sufficient to buy out the cash-only beneficiaryThe legal community in HI and Big Island in particular is small.

@Joy Daniels I have one of my STRs in that market on Anna Maria and each “city” on that 7 mile island has different STR rules.

I'm from Long Island, currently looking for a deal myself

For example, in the New York area, especially in some hyped-up fringe neighborhoods (like certain areas of the Bronx, Queens, or Staten Island), finding a "bargain" seems easy.

In HI there are leasehold properties, cesspools, water catchment, and Lava Zones (on the Big Island). 

There is land and markets available in the DFW area.8. 

We are based out of Long Island and invest in Milwaukee because of the L/T laws, price to rent ratio and some other metrics.Good luck on your journey. 

We spent 2 months on Madeira last summer, and 1 week on Porto Santo and loved every minute of it so I'd like to get a few properties on the Island and eventually relocate there.
