I'm currently looking for more resources so I can see how real people are finding and closing real deals and what are realistic and possible cap rates and cash on cash rates. 

I think when rates go down, values will go up.  

I've come up with a few different scenarios:1.

If your in there partnership program they refer you to their client if they need to sell.its a one time yearly fee & any deal closed you pay $1500i couldn't find any reviews or much info on company outside of there website.courage to know if anyone has had any dealings with this company as I find it a little strange that they don't accept any credit card payments only zell or wire or ACH.

I’ve done rehabs on the mainland, and this would be my first in Hawaii so I want to be as prepared as possible and ensure my analysis accounts for everything (or as close to!).

The last thing you want to do is shop it yourself, have no clue on the bank's closing rate, and guidelines, and pay for an expensive appraisal with no loan. 

You'll likely need to be there a lot meeting contractors, agents, tenants, so you'll want to be close. 3) SFH vs.

Either way, you had better have much more cash raised up front.

This strategy can help reduce utility expenses.Mid-term and short-term rentals can have utility costs up to 10% of gross income, including electricity, water, gas, cable, lawn care, and pest control.

It is not something my partner has heard of before and her family and other guests have stayed at the home throughout and summer, up until 2 days before this renter and they have never mentioned it.
