Otherwise your best bet is to work for a commercial investment and or development firm as an analyst.

Hello,I'm looking to begin investing in syndications in the near future, but was interested to hear some opinions on picking individual deals versus some of the funds I have seen.

If you’re interested in a chat regarding pros / cons of Hawaii versus mainland, or just hearing about differences between the islands just DM me.    

I haven't done business here before, any notable differences for dealing with here versus the US, things on my mind in no particular order:1) What are typical insurance providers that you work with ?

The toughest tasks are obtaining the carrier appointments and the staff to service the accounts which can be avoided if you purchase/partner in an agency versus starting a new one. 

My hat caused the falling railing to glance off of my dome versus dig in.

Considering that $1 of rental income replaces $1.25-1.45 of earned income, I bet this is about equal to what she's making every year.

This is very local, though.I bet you can find a better rate.

I'd bet, though, that your ten-year IRR is much, much higher owning a place in a desirable district in DC and renting out rooms than it would be just buying a blue-collar workhorse of a property strictly to crank out rental income.

None of them are expensive and if you did all of them I'm willing to bet you'd see a big improvement.
