Local networking events can be a great way to get connected.

If you're worried about finding tenants, focus on a location with strong rental demand, list rooms on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Furnished Finder, and consider mid-term or short-term rentals if long-term tenants are hard to find.Good luck!

I’m a local real estate broker with Keller Williams, and I love helping investors find great opportunities in the area.

I would recommend attending some local meet up groups or REIA meetings.

Location of property How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Get to some local meetings.

One was conventional financing and the other was a portfolio loan from a local bank here in Hawaii, I also did a lot of research into DSCR loans during my search.I'm also an agent here on Oahu but focus mainly on Property Management, at the brokerage we manage roughly 50 units that are a mix of STR, MTR, and LTR's. 

And you are local!

What was the quality like compared to local options?

Looking for potential analysis pitfalls, offer strategies, analysis metrics, discussion of local market conditions, and general networking/camaraderie.
