Private financing has many perks compared to traditional bank loans, especially if you're after speed and flexibility.

I think you shouldn't compared people who are visiting the forum to the Airbnb average.

I am curious though, in hindsight, how does an investment in STR in Hawaii in 2012 would compare with other markets over this period of time despite all the regulation headwinds?

In fact, the appraiser may not even appraise it at $280,000 even though the comparables would point to that value all day long.

It taught her that if there’s any confusion about terms, you want that clarity sooner rather than later.When it comes to rent, I’d look at comparable properties in your area.. from what I read in Forbes, some commercial leases even build in annual percentage increases so you’re not stuck below market for too long.

I console myself with the fact that compared to higher education that is relatively cheap tuition. 

Look at the age compared to there useful life and cost to replace.

Wraps cost more and take longer (legal fees, recording fees, servicing fees, etc) compared to a SubTo.

Compare it to your cost of living now, and that's a great start.
