They do have some options for building up (see three story image below) but we created an apartment that consists of studios units, in the standard 16x74 foot modular home rectangle.

(I have not signed and returned a copy to the tenants) Within the past week or so while renovating the vacant unit, Ive noticed an unusually high amount of activity pertaining to one of the occupied units i.e. vehicles stopping at the property for short periods of time, the tenant leaving as a passenger in a vehicle, then returing on foot, different people coming and going on foot.

Personally I would never go past inspection period without stepping foot in the property.

This home has been described by building department officials as the largest residential home on the Big Island, featuring an impressive 100-foot pool.I purchased the property in 2021 when it was in a severely dilapidated state.

That should take the most time - determining a realistic ARV and market rent should be the work of just a day or two.If the numbers all work and you've satisfied yourself with the neighborhood, it's time to put one foot in front of the other by making an offer.

We've had better luck with our organic traffic.  

Now there's only 1 or 2 of them, plus a few males, 2-3 dogs, and there is sad looking traffic going in & out of the house.   

It's a bit like a safe harbor statement - just because it hasn't happened, doesn't mean it won't in the future.Also, the 4x4 supports don't appear to be on cement footings (down to frost depth).

I'm talking about nice charcoal 2x2's and ivory, etc. and I have never paid more than $.25/ft for 2x1 and 2x2 foot tile which sells for $3-6 per ft at the Big Box.The second thing they have in abundance are bathroom vanities.

In fact, across the board, out of town investors are buying at *negative returns* which is making it absolutely impossible for savvy, educated investors to even get their foots in the door.
