In other news, it may be tempting to purchase a waterfront property at a deep discount along the Western Coast but beware, you might get flooded in the next hurricane unless you want to do a teardwon and build on stilts. 

There are bad and fake "gurus" out there, but Joe is not one of them and he is one of the two mentors that gave me exactly what I needed to get started in my real estate business. without him, I'd still be in my 9-5. thanks @Joe McCalla lot of these programs work MUCH better in certain parts of the country. and  Western PA I believe is one of those.

I live in a popular vacation town in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

Hawaiian real estate law differs from other western states significantly, mostly due to its monarchal heritage and the Bishop Trust influence.The basics are the same as would be in California; determine the condition of title ownership (individual(s), estate (including conservatorship, if appropriate) OR fiduciary acting for trust.Use a qualified private money equity lender to make a loan sufficient to buy out the cash-only beneficiaryThe legal community in HI and Big Island in particular is small.

I’m over here on Big Island, up in the Kohala coast, and it offers some resort areas too on the sunny western side similar to Ko Olina on Oahu.So things to consider are:- Which Island- Your budget- Will you be financing or paying cash?  

Then buy out my partners on my Costa Rica properties, and just host retreats in Costa Rica, visit my cabins, collect cash flow, and enjoy my wife and kids and travel around visiting friends in my awesome motorhome which I have not purchased yet. great goals.. mine is to buy a nice drift boat and flyfish all over the west and up into BC. trying to figure out do I buy a summer cabin say in Western Montana or Eastern Idado as a home base..

I'm considering looking at some properties in Western Europe e.g., Portugal, Spain, Italy, etc. and it would be great to connect with someone who has already done this.
