Every time I've tried places like Wayfair or Amazon (even for nicer pieces), well, it still feels like Amazon or Mayfair.  

There's so many catalysts for population and job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Hospital, etc).

Additionally, hundreds of businesses, including global leaders like Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, IBM, Microsoft, and Uber, are in Pittsburgh and draw thousands of professionals to the city annually.

I’ve checked Honolulu and seen condos as low as 250k  ( studio/condotels) to 700k.

I'd look at doing development deals as well. you can do joint venture, non recourse debt above 5 million in construction. we do deals in Columbus Ohio and miami florida if it is of any interest. columbus cost per door is much lower than in miami and we focus on micro units under 600 sq ft mostly for development to get higher density, higher lease prices per square foot, etc. there is a "affordable" housing deal that has 336 sq ft studios in columbus that gets about $995 in rent which is above $3. the normal single family rental gets in the $1.6 or so range even new construction

Columbus has become a major tech hub in the midwest with large companies like Intel investing $20 billion, Amazon investing $3.5 billion, Google building 2 new data centers: one in downtown Columbus and the other in right outside of U.S. 33 in Lancaster.

, and screw Amazon.

Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

New companies like Intel, Amazon, and Google are also investing here.
