There are unique restrictions you can put into place because you occupy the house as well (assuming you’re actually going to live there, I hope...). 

Don't let the tenant flush wet wipes and toys down the toilet.

But as far as price projections, that is a long boring discussion about historical prices, unique economic factors in Hawaii, the government, builders, zoning, supply, demand, military, etc. 

Last year I came across a unique property that I ended up purchasing. 

This hybrid of MFH and motels is quite unique.

With everything that's going on I was just curious on some best practices other investors are doing when it comes down to portfolio management during these unique times?

(Our choice will be another post for another day) Uniqueness Airbnbs and home rentals in general are attractive because of their uniqueness.

I find cville and the immediate surrounds to be one unique place (University is large influence and it's a relatively small town) , with Richmond and the surrounding counties different (large urban and suburban), and the in between being largely rural.

Think I'd double-check since rules are unique for stuff like interest bearing.However, in general, you're supposed to have the security deposits in a separate account (for each unit) and be able to provide an accounting to the tenant (and REA if they ask).You CANNOT commingle money amongst accounts, that'll get you nailed by the REA.Didn't think it's that onerous.

Also, the housing stock is very old...not unique to RI but maintenance and repairs can run high (especially on the older historic-looking properties).
