Great thing about Maui, there really is no "off" season, there's a peak season during winter, but the rest of the year is great too.

Whereas my own sfr near the beach has only taken a 20-25% hit since 2006, 1- and 2- bedroom condos in many areas throughout the county have depreciated more than 60% from the peak.

It makes sense that property taxes have fallen in the past five years with property values falling from the 2006-2007 peaks.

Almost related to a young couple that own a condo as a rental that is 60k underwater.The wife bought it when single as a primary residence at market peak with basically no down.

I only buy properties that have some desirable feature and I keep them in peak condition.

Not only is the content you provide better than almost any other you then go on to explain each one so the reader doesn't feel like "ok great you shared this idea now how in the world does it work and how can it be applied".Again thank you so much for being willing to share your knowledge that you have learned over the years. while others have peaked my interest in real estate investing you have added the "JET FUEL" to the dying match that i had for investing. 

You will get reamed by the courts, and potentially say bye-bye to your investments.34) extended absense/abandonment35) damage done by trespassers - I have spent a lot of money unnecessarily because I didn't include this in my lease.36) care of roof - NO SATELLITES.37) improvements become property of landlord38)  owner held harmless39) if lease starts on 3/1/16, and I can't deliver unit by 3/1/16, the lease allows me a 30 day period to correct this problem.40) signs - for sale, property management, for rent, etc41) instructions on how to communicate with landlord (in writing by certified mail with signature receipt)42) no business allowed on the property (day care or any other business)43) i don't pay for plumbing stoppages after the 1st clog.44) what happens if the tenant signs a lease sight unseen (no refunds)45) credit report clause46) attorneys fees agreementWell, that pretty much does it! 

Meanwhile, the guy who works behind the counter at my local HVAC supply tells me the easier way to do something, and just how tall that vent pipe needs to be to meet code in our village (has to clear the peak of the roof by a certain amount.) 

It's a Cult to have such strong beliefs.Analyze what really happened to Cashflowing properties and look what rental properties actually when into foreclosure.In Manhattan, during the peak of the financial crisis, there were less than 100 out of 1/2 million rental properties that went into foreclosure.Did the low income areas around the nation achieved such low foreclosure rates?

For instance, I bought a property about 10 months ago at the absolute peak of the market.
