Lei, I'd be happy to serve you any way I can.For Ko'olina, I love the Beach Villas (as well as the entire Ko'olina area) and if you are primarily looking for a very quality property for you and your family to use, I'd recommend it.  

I truly think I only need 4 more houses to hit my goal and then shift from buying to paying them off.I am not sure if I am thinking about this the right way and I am sure there are things I am not thinking about but below are my thoughts:Pros - I can purchase the houses I need to hit my goal faster - With getting homes fasters the depreciation, tax benefits, amortization, appreciation, rent increases all start sooner - Home prices on average should be lower now then if I buy in 4-5 years - I can take better advantage of leverageCons - I have more risk until I pay the properties off - Less upfront cashflow - Longer timeframe to acquire the properties to reach my goalIf anyone has any opinions or advice I'd love to hear it.One thing to consider is the more of one’s own money you use, the more you can be lax and lazy with the deal and your standards.
