My fingers are crossed.I'll be calling you soon when I purchase a larger list.

(He was a tenant in the home)4) Seller was told by his back Doctor that he was going to be unable to walk up the staircase in his home and should consider selling before the scheduled surgery which was 10 days away.5) Seller didn’t have time to clean the kitchen and was too embarrassed to allow strangers in… Kitchen was so full of trash and dishes that were unclean that one could hardly walk to the sink.6) Seller was being abused by his wife and didn’t want to explain the fist holes in the walls and doors.7) Seller ran a multi room internet porn café out of his house and didn’t want anyone to know or impede his income.8) Double homicide where the bodies were left for a week… (Smelled like money)9) Seller hated real estate agents so much that he refused to earn more money by selling himself or hiring them.10) I could see the sky through the ceiling and the seller didn’t have money for the repairs.

If you want to point the finger, we can blame the Fed for holding rates low for so long, and the govt for printing 5 T, making money real cheap and allowing these NY investors to over pay on the real estate.I guess you have to wait until the banks take these assets back.

If you just take the time to research your area with properties that are most similar to yours (plus or minus) you will get the best idea of what your occupancy is and your best nightly rate.How would you estimate occupancy by looking at Airbnb.. it seems like to do so you would be putting your finger in the air.

Many locals are being "priced out of paradise".Our area of the market seems to be a little different that the rest of the states that I read about...so I'm trying to learn what I can see how that may fit into the Hawaii market.Thank you to all and especially BP for having a vehicle for us to use to help us make better decisions.My apologies...I fat fingered "Newbie" on my heading and can't change it :-).BJ

again, i don't know you personally or the inner workings of your business, so i am not pointing any fingers.  

Fingers crossed.
