The county hasn't been able to provide the listing agent with a time frame of when the water could be reconnected, or even if it can- The property is in Hawaii and it sounds as though there may be some complexities surrounding getting water in this particular area- Is there a way to navigate this, or should it be avoided altogether?

The PM wants nothing to do with your money - however, depending on how large they are they might have processes surrounding transition of ownership that would require them to forward the money to the closing attorney's escrow.

The markets I am interested in are Augusta, GA (and surrounding areas); Monticello, Arkansas (my hometown), and Hawaii itself.

Maybe the data only pulls from the city limits and not the surrounding areas?

The surrounding suburbs would be ideal for fix and flips or buy and hold as well if you can get them at a discounted rate.

I’m really interested in Tampa Fl and surrounding areas

I'm over by you in Philly and work around in the city and surrounding counties.  

@Ryan Alexander What do the comps look like in the surrounding area? 

The area surrounding overall is good.

@Douglas GuerreroI Agree with affordability.I rent in coconut grove, Miami now. 1 bedrooms in this neighborhood and surrounding areas are $1850-2500 for 1 bedroom.
