Owning a vacation property in Hawaii has been a lifelong dream of mine, and it seems that this dream may also be able to generate some tax savings for me.I'm looking for a 2 bedroom or more condo in a resort-zoned area of Hawaii, specifically the Waikoloa Beach or Mauna Lani Resort areas which are already resort-zoned.

Kristin Beach "Kris Thomas" is an amazing con artist.

It's a bit of a mess and we are trying to find all the possible silver linings. 

There is no silver bullet, secret sauce - you have to doggedly grind and with luck - find one property that meets your criteria in an area you are familiar with and know is in demand.

Quote from @Mackaylee Beach:  I suggest setting clear goals and outlining your desires and requirements for your ideal investment properties.

I am looking to buy one property(Investment) near Imperial Beach near Ocean .

Purchase price: $155,000 Cash invested: $40,000Our Cabana condo in Carolina Beach operates as a STR through Airbnb, VRBO, Booking and Google. 

In the last 6 months i've acquired two more short term rentals in the Poipu Beach area and completed a 1031 exchange.

Some coastal cities that were historically very welcoming to vacation rentals (like Rockaway Beach OR) have recently passed new CAP's or rules on STR permitting or vacation rental licenses.
