Fear that needs to be overcome to reap the rewards of the opportunities we have had afforded us!

@Jake Silverman there has been a strong market on the islands for numerous years, recently Kauai saw almost 100% appreciation in less than 2 years so the market is slowing to correct for that rapid expansio and yes there is the staggering affect of covid as the islands saw unemployment rates above 32%.I am not a realtor but an investor and even my open source research suggests that over 70% of sellers are waiting until the quarantine is lifted, that being said my better half just signed on a SFH below market that needs a lot of TLC but we will be able to see instant equity.

Two adjacent units (in Los Angeles) have reported and caught numerous mice over the last three weeks.

If you work at investing here will well rewarding.

Even when you have an ethical general partner, the rewards and motivations between the GP and LP can become misaligned creating friction.  

Always keep grinding. 3) Network- There are numerous people out there, who you can connect with and create a relationship with, that can help you throughout your journey.

I used to be on-site and hands on with my rentals, but over the years have streamlined to a point where I did all my business over the phone and a laptop. 5) As a result of streamlined operations, I've been able to travel at will all over the world without worry about running down to one of my units. 6) Improved my negotiation skills with the numerous deals that have closed, been rejected, fallen through, all the tough sellers/buyers and their emotions, terrible 3rd parties (agents, title companies, lenders, etc.), and all the layers of people you need to wrangle together to execute a completed transaction. 7) Taught me that no deal is ever done until closing, title conveyed, money transferred, and the keys exchanged.

I've visited the area numerous times with my kid to the Crayola Experience and I kinda liked it.

I was offered a 2% finders fee, but have a question about how to reward someone who helps me find the deal.
