Hello everyone,I am a Colorado resident that owns an acre of land in Hawaiian Ocean View Estates, big island of Hawaii.

. - Lot more inventory to work with (flexibility)- I see many affordable homes 150k-250k range and multi unit homes around 250-400k range- Thinking of buying between or near UNLV university/ main strip so I have faculties, staff, students from the universities as well as employees from the casino/hotel- Property Tax is cheaper (but can be a con in other states).Con & other inputs: - I feel like Las Vegas have short term residence more than long term residence (most of the properties seems to be owners who are not purchasing to live but to use it as vacation home or short/long term rentals.... so many properties can be vacant and potentially allow squatters/long eviction process)- Nevada law require a "responsible" person aka landlord/property management within 60 miles - Distance (I like to buy my properties locally because I can stop by or fix something if needed either by myself or contractors that I work with/familiar with- Property Management fees since long distance - Finding a property management company that is reliable and trustworthy. - Unfamiliarity with the area/surroundings- Lower Rent compared to CA but I know I can't compare apples and Oranges (But I don't want to invest just to break even)------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tax questions ***Some state does not have tax on income(?)

These units are rare to pop up (I stay in one of the units each Summer) and usually are gone in a week....so I know the opportunity is 'there'.The goal is to relocate in 4-6 years and use this as a primary residence (but still travel and use as a vacation rental).I'm confident w/ the rental history of these units and comfortable with cash flow (hate having to initially throw down so much $$......but HI has their 'rules').

Bob -  you might  contact  the smaller to mid size local banks in your area  as they might be able to work  with your scenario …..do you have a primary residence ?
